Chords for "Wildflowers" by Heather Berry (song of the day #16, salute to Miss Dolly Parton

_ Howdy friends.
I hope it's been a great day for you so far and
Today, I'm gonna do a song called wildflowers.
It's by Dolly Parton.
She's my hero
I grew up listening to her and I thought she was an angel when I was a little girl
And this is one of my favorite songs that came out on the trio album actually the year I was born
1987 so it's pretty special to me and today.
I'm gonna be playing my old Oscar Schmidt
Auto harp, I keep one tune down so I can play in B
Because neither one of my auto harps had B on it, so I'm gonna play this one today
And thank you Tony for tuning it [B] down for me.
I know that was a chore
[E] _
[B] So here's wildflowers _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ [E] _ [B] _ The _ hills were alive with [E] wildflowers [B] and I
Was as wild, even [F#] [E] wilder [B] than they
For relief I could run
They just [E] died in [B] the [Em] sun
And [B] I refused to just wither and fade
Just [E] a wild, wild rose
Needing [B] freedom to grow
So [E] I'm in fear and now [B] I go
[F#] _ _
When [B] a flower grows wild
It [E] can [B] always survive
Wild, wild, wild
Wildflowers don't care where they grow _
And the flowers I knew
In the [E]
fields where [B] I grew
[E] Were [B] content to be lost in the crowd
They were common in the coast
I had [E] no [B] room to grow
And I wanted so [E] much to branch [B]
out
So I [E] brooded myself [B] from a tree
And I went home, crowned and left
Took [E] my dreams and I took care [B] of the rose
_ [F#] _ _ When a [B] flower grows wild
It can [E] always [B] survive
[E] _ [B] Wildflowers [F#] don't care [Em] where [B] they grow _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ [E] _ [B] _ _ [F#] [E] I [B] _ _ _ grew up past the wild
And [E] I never [B] felt [E] right
[B] In a garden [F#] so [E] different
[B] From the rest of the world
I just never belonged
I took long to be gone
So the garden [F#] one day
[E] Set [B] me free
I [E] hatched a rhyme with the wind
[B] And since he was my friend
[E] I just let him decide
[B] Where we go
_ [F#] _ _ [B] When a flower grows wild
It can [E] always survive
[B] _ _ [E] _ [B]
Wildflowers don't [F#] care [E] where [B] they grow
Just [E] a wild meandering rose
[B] Seeking mysteries unpointed
No [E]
regrets for the path [B] that I chose
[F#] _ _ _
[B] When a flower grows wild
[E] It can [B] always survive
_ Wildflowers don't care where they grow _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
[E] _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ Wildflowers [F#] don't [B] care where they grow _
