INSTRUMENTAL INTRO
D G D
Well Mama was his Wildwood Flower, my Daddy used to say,
D A D
And to prove to her he loved her, he'd play it every day.
D G D
Mom would look at him and smile, she'd say, "God bless my man,
D A D
I don't regret one single day that I gave him my hand.
D G D
The Wildwood Flower Was his favorite song,
D A D
And when he played for Mama, Her house became a home.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
D G D
Mom took sick and passed away, this was his darkest hour.
D A D
He came home that very day and he played the Wildwood Flower.
D G D
Time went by and he grew old, he'd sit and play for hours,
D A D
Mem'ries of Mom on his old guitar, he'd play the Wildwood Flower.
D G D
The Wildwood Flower Was his favorite song,
D A D
And when he played for Mama, Her house became a home.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
D G D
One night, as I walked by his house, I thought I heard his song.
D A D
I heard Mama talkin', but Mom had long been gone.
D G D
I looked through the window and saw God's mighty power.
D A D
There sat Mom with Daddy, he was playin' the Wildwood Flower.
D G D
The Wildwood Flower Was his favorite song,
D A D
And when he played for Mama, Her house became a home.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
D G D
As he grew old, he could play no more, and his mind began to fail.
D A D
We'd often find him in the field, he seemed so old and frail.
D G D
One day, we couldn't find him, and after many days,
D A D
Found him lyin' with the wildwood flowers, up on Mama's grave.
D G D
The Wildwood Flower Was his favorite song,
D A D
And when he played for Mama, Her house became a home.
I usually repeat the chorus 3-4 times here at the end.
