[Intro]
G D7
im as mild-mannered as can be
(D7) G
and i've never done no harm as i can see
(G)
still on me they put a ban
C
and they threw me in the can
A7 D7 G
they go wild, simply wild over me
[Verse 1]
G D7
they accuse me of rascality
(D7) G
but i can't see why the always pick on me
(G)
i'm as gentle as a lamb
C
but they take me for a ram
A7 D7 G
they go wild, simply wild over me
[Verse 2]
G D7

(D7) G
and he held his gun where everyone could see
(G)
he was breathing rather hard
C
when he saw my union card
A7 D7 G
he went wild simply wild over me
[Verse 3]
G D7
and the judge he went wild over me
(D7) G

what his conscience had to say
A7 D7 G
he went wild, simply wild over me
[Verse 4]
G D7
the jailer he went wild over me

they go wild, simply wild over me
[Verse 5]
G D7
they go wild, simply wild over me

they disturb my slumber deep
C
and i murmer in my sleep

they go wild, simply wild over me
[Outro]
G D7
will the roses grow wild over me
(D7) G
when i'm gone into the land that is to be
(G)
when my soul and body part
C
in the stillness of my heart
A7 D7 G
will the roses grow wild over me?
