Tom T. Hall – Local Flowers (Guitar)

       C       F           C
I have traveled this world over

       G7             C
I have rambled all my days

        C       F         C
When my journeys have all ended

           G7              C    C7
Place some flowers on my grave

       F                  C
Local flowers, just some daisies

         G7                C
Wildwood flowers from the hills

             F                C
Where I will spend my eternal hours

        G7             C
Lay me down with local flowers

             C        F       C
Please don't buy those red carnations

        G7               C
I don't need the lilies fair

        C      F        C
Just go walkin' on the mountain

       G7                  C
Father while it's blooming there

         C    F              C
Rosemary means that you'll remember

       G7                    C
Clover sweet as the love we shared

       C        F         C
Myrtle says that you will miss me

         G7             C    C7
Rambling roses say you care

       F                  C
Local flowers, just some daisies

         G7                C
Wildwood flowers from the hills

             F                C
Where I will spend my eternal hours

        G7             C
Lay me down with local flowers

        C         F         C
Let the birds sing from the treetops

         G7                  C
Let the grass grow where it may

     C          F          C
No arrangements, no bright ribbons

        G7            C     C7
Just a simple wild bouquet

       F                  C
Local flowers, just some daisies

         G7                C
Wildwood flowers from the hills

             F                C
Where I will spend my eternal hours

        G7             C
Lay me down with local flowers
