Mean Mary - Ballad Of The Wildwood
[Intro]
G D7 G C
C G D7 G D7 G
[Verse 1]
C G
In the forest, in the sunlight, in the untamed breeze
C G D7 G
Like kings of the earth we danced ‘neath the trees
C G
I won your heart because I knew I could
C G D7 G
And I left you there in the wild wildwood
[Chorus]
C G
I left you there in the Eden of god
C G C D7
Clothed in wind and your feet unshod
G C G
And I still recall how straight you stood
C G D7 G
When I left you there in the wild wildwood
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
C G
I set you adrift on an urban sea
C G D7 G
But what you’ve become, is disturbing me
C G
I dream of eyes with dying flame
C G D7 G
I heard a night bird call your name
[Chorus]
C G
I left you there in the Eden of god
C G C D7
Clothed in wind and your feet unshod
G C G
And I still recall how straight you stood
C G D7 G
When I left you there in the wild wildwood
[Instrumental]
G C G C G D7 G (2x)
[Bridge]
C G
I’m waiting now like you waited before
C D
I’ve waited long, I’ll wait some more
G C G
No gate’s too tall, no wait’s too long
C D
No gain’s too small, no chain’s too strong___
[Chorus]
G C G
I want to walk in the Eden of god
C G C D7
Clothed in wind, my feet unshod
G C G
And I want to stand where angel’s stood
C G D7 G
And dance with you in the wild wildwood
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
C G
The stars are gone and the moon’s gone too
C G D7 G
They must have given up on you
C G
As you slave away each hour by hour
C G D7 G
Are you looking for wealth or for a wildwood flower?
[Interlude]
G D G D G D G
[Outro]
N.C. C G
I want to stand where angel’s stood
C G D7 Em
And dance with you in the wild wildwood
