Wild Flower Chords by The New Birth

[Intro]
D#m C# G# B A# A#7 D#m
■   ■  ■  ■ ■  ■   ■  


[Verse]
                      F#    G#             
She faced the hardest times you can imagine
C#7      C#sus4    C#7         F#             A#m
And many times her eyes fought back the tears ■  
D#m              F#                 G#              
■   And when her youthful world was about to fall in
              C#7              
Each time her slender shoulders
         C#7                    
Bore the weight of all her tears
      C#7                
And a sorrow no one hears
Bmaj7          A#m      G#m7    C#7 D#m     
Still rings in midnight silence in  her ears


[Chorus]
        Bmaj7 C#sus4      F#maj7
Let her cry   for she's a lady  
        A#m       D#m          
Let her dream for she's a child
             Bmaj7 A#m7 G#m7    
Let the rain fall  down upon her
        C#sus4          C#7            F#   F#maj7
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild ■     


[Verse]
Bmaj7                                  
And if by chance that I should hold her
       F#maj7         Bmaj7
Let me hold her for a while
       F#maj7                     
And if allowed just one possession
        G#m7              C#7          F#  
I would pick her from her garden to be mine


[Inst]
D#m D#m7 D#7 D#m C# A# A#7
■   ■    ■   ■   ■  ■  ■  


[Verse]
D#m A#m                           G#              
Be  careful how you touch her for ■  she'll awaken
G#m7 C#sus4  C#7 C#sus4           C#7               
And  sleep's ■   the only freedom ■   that she knows
A#7 D#m          F#                 G#                  
And ■   when you look into her eyes ■  you won't believe
B       C#        C#7                 C#sus4         C#7 
For the way she's always paying for a debt she never owed
                                   Bmaj7                A#m7    
And a silent wind still blows that she can only hear so she goes
    G#m7    C#7       D#m   
Let her cry for she's a lady


[Chorus]
        Bmaj7 C#sus4                  
Let her dream ■      for she's a child
F#maj7  Bmaj7 A#m D#m               
Let the rain  ■   fall down upon her
                 D#m                       
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
                        Bmaj7
Let her cry for she's a lady 
                  A#m7         
Let her dream for she's a child
             G#m7              
Let the rain fall down upon her
C#7                                    F#  
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
C#7                                                             
■   She's my free and gentle flower growing growing growing wild
             F#                        C#sus4         C#7 
She's a free and gentle flower growing ■      growing wild
                        F#      F#maj7       F#
She's my flower growing growing growing wild ■ 
C#sus4 C#      F#      C#7 B7 C#7         F#      C#  
■      Growing growing ■   ■  ■   growing growing wild
         F#                    
She's my free and gentle flower
