The Wild Flowers

C  G  C  G  Em    D

[Verse]
          C                 G
'Twas the wild flowers I preferred
         D          Em      G
Who owed nothing to nobody
    C                G
But blossomed in the ditches
               D              C
And made their own way in the world

[Verse]
                         G
'Twas the wild flowers I admired
    D          Em             G
Who never done nothing to you
    C               G
But driven from the garden
           D                C
Sang their own songs in the spring

[Verse]
                  G    C          
You can have your lily, you can 
        G     C
have your rose
                G              D  
That were taken and broken and 
     Em
bred by men
          C           G
They were grafted and lamed
C           D      D7
Twisted and tamed

[Verse]
        C              G
But the wild flowers I enjoyed
         D          Em          G
They had nothing to do with you
     C               G
They flowered by the roadside
               D                  
And wore their own colours in the 
A
sun

[Verse]
                  G        C      
That were there before you, 
           G          C
they'll be there after you
                         G       
That will out, that will out like 
      D        Em
your own true nature
        C            G
You can try, you can try
        C            D     D7
But you never will defeat

[Verse]
         C         G
The wild flowers I enjoyed
         D          Em      G
They had nothing to do with you
C                 G
Banished from the garden
                D              Em
They made their own way in the world
           D                C
Sang their own songs in the spring
               A   D              
And wore their own colours in the 
G
sun
