Wildflower Chords

Wildflower - Skylark  (Doug Edwards / Dave Richardson) 1972


Intro:
|Dm   Dm/C  |G7/B   Bb    |Am      |Am     A     |


Dm      Dm/C                   G7/B             G
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
    Bb/C            Bb/C                 F        A
And many times, Her eyes fought back the tears
Dm           Dm/C                        G7/B     Bb
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
     Bb/C             Bb/C
Each time her slender shoulders,
         Bb/C              Bb/C
Bore the weight of all her fears
      Bb/C          Bb/C 
And a sorrow no one hears
      Bb       Am       Gm             D
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears


        Bb  C           F     
Let her cry for she's a lady
        Bb   A            Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
        Bb        Am     Gm
Let the rain fall down upon her
        Bb/C            Bb/C           F
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild


Bb        F
And if by chance I should hold her
Bb              F
Let me hold her for a time
Bb             F
But if allowed just one possession
        Gm                C            F
I would pick her from the garden to be mine


Interlude:
|Dm      |Dm      |Dm   Dm/C  |G7/B   Bb    |
|A       |A       |


Dm         Dm/C             G7/B               G
Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken
    Bb/C             Bb/C         F        A
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
Dm           Dm/C              G7/B              Bb
And when you walk into her eyes you won't believe
    Bb/C             Bb/C
The way she's always payin'
      Bb/C           Bb/C 
For a debt she never owes
      Bb/C              Bb/C
And a silent wind still blows
      Bb       Am       Gm             D
That only she can hear and so, she goes


        Bb  C           F     
Let her cry for she's a lady
        Bb   A            Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
        Bb        Am     Gm
Let the rain fall down upon her
        Bb/C            Bb/C           F
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild


        Bb  C           F     
Let her cry for she's a lady
        Bb   A            Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
        Bb        Am     Gm
Let the rain fall down upon her
        Bb/C            Bb/C           F
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild
Gm      Bb/C           F
She's a flower growing wild

She's free.......
