Pick the Wildwood Flower chords and lyrics - GENE WATSON

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Them Texas fields were hot
And that tractor never
was my kind of [C]living
And [A]when I hit sixteen
I had my size and I hit the road [D]to freedom
And [Dm]I'm glad I wasn't there
To see my [G]momma cause she
must've cried [C]for hours
I still [G]hear her saying Gary
Get your [D]guitar and pick
The Wildwood [G]Flower

[Verse 2]
Now [G]Dallas it was big
And hard to find a job and so I [C]didn't
It was [A]easier to hitch a ride to Houston
And it was more like [D]living
Now [Dm]I've been down every road
And [G]I've stood on every porch
where they [C]were giving
And [G]if they had an hour or [D]a dime
I would pick The Wildwood [G]Flower

[Verse 3]
It's [G]hard to turn around
And look back down the roads
that I have trav[C]elled
Cause [A]like a neverending ball of twine
My dreams have come unrav[D]elled
And now as [Dm]evening lays its shawl
Across [G]the shoulders of my
life I have [C]defined
I couldn't [G]tie my life together
With the [D]guitar strings and
a poet's heart full of [G]pride

[Verse 4]
And I'm so [Dm]glad I wasn't there
To see my [G]momma cause she
must've cried [C]for hours
I still [G]hear her saying Gary
Get your [D]guitar and pick The Wildwood [G]Flower

[Outro 1]
[G]
