Tom : G
G C G
The hills were alive with wild flowers and I
D7 G
Was as wild even wilder than they
C G
For at least I could run they just died in the sun
D7 G
And I refused to just wither in place
C G
Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow
C G D7
So I ran fearing not where I'd go-o-o
G C G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive
D7 G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
C G
And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew
D7 G
Were content to be lost in the crowd
C G
They were commonly close I had no room to grow
D7 G
And I wanted so much to branch out
C G
So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left
C G D7
Took my dreams and I took to the road-o-oad
G C G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive
D7 G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
C G
I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right
D7 G
In a garden so different from me
C G
I just never belonged I just longed to be gone
D7 G
So the garden one day set me free
C G
I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend
C G D7
I just let him decide where we'd go-o-o
G C G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive
D7 G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
C G
Just a wild rambling rose seeking mysteries untold
C G D7
No regrets for the path that I chose-o-ose
G C G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive
D7 G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
