VERSE 1
C Am
Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm.
G C
And we never knowed what it was called
C Am
Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed
G C
I didn't give it much thought
C C7
One day I was out there talkin' to my brother
F C
And I reached down for a weed to chew on
C Am
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
G C
And then ev'rything was gone

VERSE 3
C Am
The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
G C
And put 'em in the sun to dry
C Am
Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off
G C
And we put 'em in the corn cob pipe
C C7
Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be
F C
A habit, We never seen no harm
C Am
We thought it was kind-a handy
G C
To take a trip and never leave the farm

VERSE 4
C Am
All good things got to come to an end
G C
It's the same with the wildwood weeds
C Am
One day this feller from Washington come by
G C
And spied one and turned white as a sheet
C C7
And they dug and they burned and they burned and they dug
F C
And they killed all our cute little weeds
C Am
Then then they drove away and we just smiled and waved
NC
Sittin' thar on that sack o' seeds
