me and the wildwood rose Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In [C]my Grandma's house
her children would sing
Guitars a twangin' and
their laughter would ring
I was [Am]little but I was the [F]biggest [G]kid
I wanted [Am]to do what the gr[F]own-ups did
[G]did
[C]

[Verse 2]
In a big shiny car we'd
head down the road
To sing for the miners who
brought out the coal
Many [Am]a time I slept on
the [F]floorboard[G] cold
On a [Am]quilt with my little [F]sister
The [G]Wildwood [C]Rose

[Verse 3]
[Chorus:] [F]And if
I could change a thing in this world
I'd [C]go back to the days
When Grandma and her girls
[Am]Were[G] singing sweet and low
For me and the Wildwood [C]Rose

[Verse 4]
We'd be [C]way down the road
by the break of dawn
Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop song
In [Am]a world all my own I [F]saw what I [G]saw
And in the rear view [Am]mirror I'd get a [F]wink
from [G]my [C]Grandma
[F]

[Verse 5]
[F][Chorus]
A lee [C]a o a[G] lee a [C]o o[G] la[C]y d[G]ee who[C][F]
A lee o [C]lay [G]dee
[C]

[Verse 6]
Oh I'll always remember
the day that she died
My daddy he called me and he started to cry
I [Am]rode on an airplane with [F]all of my [G]pain
My [Am]tears would not stop
We [F]stood [C]in [G]a circle

[Interlude 1]
and sang
[C][F][C]

[Verse 7]
[C][Chorus]
[G]For me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
For [G]me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
For [G]me and the Wildwood [C]Rose
[G]A l[C]ee a[G] o
[C]A l[G]ee [C]a o [G]lay dee who
