I don't know about group number 2
Man, tough
Listen we would like to
We would like to do for you a real pretty song
That was done by a group of people
â??But the latter part of 1972, early part of '73
Tune simply entitled "Wildflower"
Now the first time we heard this song
It sounded like [F]a
Well, to [C7]tell the tɾuth it sounded like [F]a white guy
Tryin' to [C7]do a black thing, huh
But we come to [C7]find out later
That it was [Am7]a white, a black guy
Tryin' to [C7]do a white thing, you [A7know what I'm sayin'
And so we, we got [Fm7]it together
And we did our own version [C7]of it
And we would like [F]to [C7]lay it on [C7]you
We think it's very pretty
And for [Dm7]those of you [A7who are hearin' it for [Dm7]the first time
We'd like [F]for [Dm7]you [A7to [C7]sit back and [Bm]enjoy
Those of you [A7who heard it before
We'd like [F]for [Dm7]you [A7to [C7]scream like [F]hell if you
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, yeah,
Mm
What a song, what a song [Am]to [C7]sing
And I'm singin' my [A]song, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Sing a song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She faced the hardest times you [A7would imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears, yeah, yeah
And when her youthful world was [Am7]about to [C7]fall [Em]in
Each time her slender shoulders
Fought the weight of all [Em]her fears
And a sorrow no one hear
Still ɾings in midnight silence in her ear
Let her cry for [Dm7]she's a lady
Let her dream, she's a child
Let the ɾain fall [Em]down upon [C7]her
She's a free and [Bm]gentle flower growin' wild
And if by chance I should hold her (Hold her)
Let me, let me hold her for [Dm7]a little while
And if I had but one possession
I would take her from the garden to [C7]be [Am]mine, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Be careful how you [A7touch her for [Dm7]she night awaken
And sleep is the only freedom that the little girl knows
And when you [A7walk into [C7]your eyes, you [A7won't believe
The way she's always payin'
For a debt she never, never owed
And the silent wind still blows
But only she can hear, so she goes
Let her cry for [Dm7]she's a lady
Let her dream, she is a child
Let the ɾain fall [Em]down upon [C7]her
She's a free and [Bm]gentle flower growin' wild
Let her cry, cry for [Dm7]she's a lady
Let her dream and [Bm]dream and [Bm]dream and [Bm]dream, she's a child
Let the ɾain fall [Em]down upon [C7]her
She's a free and [Bm]gentle flower growin' wild
She's, she's
She's a free and [Bm]gentle flower, yeah, yeah
I'mma tell the world about my [A]wildflower, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Growin', gowin', growin', yeah, yeah
Hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo, hoo, ooh, yeah, yeah
Growin', gowin', growin', yeah
Growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin', growin' wild
She's a flower growin' wild
Wild, wild, la-la, growin' wild
Wild, wild, la-la, growin' wild
Wild, wild, la-la, growin' wild
