VERSE 1

C                    Am
Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm.
       G                        C
And we never knowed what it was called
C                             Am
Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed
G                     C
I didn't give it much thought
C                       C7
One day I was out there talkin' to my brother
      F                               C
And I reached down for a weed to chew on
C                    Am
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
    G                   C
And then ev'rything was gone

  C                          G           C

Didn't know what happened but I knew it beat the hell out of sniffing burlap



VERSE 2

C                Am
I come to and my brother was there and he said, 
G                            C
"Boy, what's wrong with your eyes?"
C                           Am
I said "I don't know, I was chewin' on a weed"
          G                C
He said, "Let me give it a try"
C                                 C7
We spent the rest of that day and most of that night 
          F               C
Tryin’ to find my brother Bill
C                        Am
Caught up with him about six o'clock the next mornin'
G                     C
Naked, singing on the windmill

  C                          G           C

He said he flew up there. I had to fly up and get him down. He was about half crazy



VERSE 3

C                             Am
The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
G                         C
And put 'em in the sun to dry
C                            Am
Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off
       G                       C
And we put 'em in the corn cob pipe
C                     C7
Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be 
         F                C 
A habit, We never seen no harm
C                        Am
We thought it was kind-a handy
          G                        C
To take a trip and never leave the farm

  C                          G           C

VERSE 4

C                      Am
All good things got to come to an end
G                               C
It's the same with the wildwood weeds
C                        Am
One day this feller from Washington come by
    G                               C
And spied one and turned white as a sheet
C                                     C7
And they dug and they burned and they burned and they dug
         F                          C
And they killed all our cute little weeds
C                             Am
Then then they drove away and we just smiled and waved 
NC
Sittin' thar on that sack o' seeds

  C                          G           C     F   G   C
