Pick The Wildwood Flower Acoustic chords by Gene Watson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
G+G
Them Texas fields were hot
                   C majorC
And that tractor never was my kind of livin'
  A7A7
And when I hit sixteen, I had the size
           D MajorD
And I hit the road to freedom
    DmDm              G7G7
And I'm glad I wasn't there to see my mama
                C majorC
'Cause she must have cried for hours
    G+G
I still hear her sayin', Gary
     D MajorD              G+G
Get your guitar and pick the wildwood flower

Verse 2:
G+G
Now Dallas it was big,
                 C majorC
And hard to find a job, and so I didn't
    A7A7
It was easier to hitch a ride to Houston
           D MajorD
And it was more like livin'
     DmDm
Now, I've been down every road
     G7G7                  C majorC
And I've stood on every porch where they were givin'
      G+G
And if they had an hour,
   D MajorD                G+G
Or a dime, I would pick the wildwood flower

Verse 3:
G+G
It's hard to turn around,
                     C majorC
And look back down the roads that I have travelled
    A7A7
'Cause like a never-ending ball of twine
           D MajorD
My dreams have come unravelled
      DmDm
And now as evening lays it's shawl,
      G7G7              C majorC
Across the shoulders of my life, I have found
      G+G
I couldn't tie my life together
      D MajorD                G+G
With guitar strings and a poet's heart felt line
    DmDm              G7G7
And I'm glad I wasn't there to see my mama
                C majorC
'Cause she must have cried for hours
    G+G
I still hear her sayin', Gary
     D MajorD              G+G
