Wildwood Flower Chords by Johnny Cash

[Start]

[Verse]
Ab7 E                                                    
■   ■ Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair
                                             E7
With the roses so red and the lilies so fair ■ 
                                   E          
And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew
         E                                     
The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue


[Chorus]
                                                   E7
I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay ■ 
E   E7                                    E        
■ I will charm every heart in her crown I will sway
                             A        E        
When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay
                     E                 
All portions of love had all blown away

[Verse]
                                          G7     
Oh she taught me to love her and promised to love
    G7                                 
And to cherish me over all others above
                              G         G7  G   
How my heart is now wonderin' no misery can tell
            G7                             
She left me no warning no words of farewell
                              D7                      
Yes she taught me to love her and called me her flower


[Chorus]
                  D7                                     
That was blooming to cheer her through life's dreary hour
   G7                                        
Oh I long to see her and regret the dark hour
           G                      D              
She's gone and neglected her pale wildwood flower
