NOTE: I don't know how to do tablature very well, so you'll have to
listen to the song and fiddle with D, G and A suspendeds to get the same
sound that John Denver does on his intro...note that the same "riff" that
you play as an intro comes at the end of each chorus...a '|' mark
indicates a measure break...enjoy!--Mike

INTRO: | D | G A |

G D A D
January back in '55 we rode a Greyhound bus through the Georgia midnight
G D A
Grandpa was sleeping and the winter sky was clear
G D A D
We hit a bump and his head jerked back a little and he mumbled something
G D A
He woke up smiling, but his eyes were bright with tears
D G D
Said, "I dreamed I was back on the farm...
G A D A
20 years have passed, boy, but the memory still warms me...
G A D G A
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."
G D A D
He told me those old stories about that one-room cabin in Kentucky
G D A
The smell of the rain and the warm earth in his hands
G D A D
He slowly turned and stared outside; his face was mirrored in the window
G D A
And his reflection flew across the moonlit land
D G D
And he dreamed he was back on the farm
G A D A
Tilts his head and listens to the early sound of morning
G A D G A
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar
G D A D
An old man and an eight-year-old boy rolling down that midnight highway
G D A
Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night
G D A D
I started drifting off and Grandpa tucked his coat around me
G D A
I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes
D G D
And I dreamed I was with him on the farm
G A D A
"Grandpa, I can hear the evening wind out in the corn...
G A D G A
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...
G A D G A
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...
G A D G A
Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."
G A D
And the bus rolled through the night...
