Play The Wildwood Flower Chords

[Verse 1]
G                               C
He lived by the river where the willow
           G
trees were growin'
D
Met her on Sunday and he loved her from
    G
the start
                                    C
She lived on the mountain where the wind
           G
was always blowin'
D
20 miles of mountain road don't matter
       G
to the heart
 
[Chorus]
    C                G
And every night he'd ask politely
D                                  G
Is there anything that'll make you smile
    C                 G
And every night she'd whisper softly
D                                G
Oh my darling, play the Wildwood Flower
 
G   D G
 
[Verse 2]
G
They married in the early spring as
C                  G
soon as they where able
D                               G
Making plans to build a home as soon as
 
they could start.
G                                C
He kept a fire in the hearth and food
         G
upon the table
D
Fifty years or more they never spent a
     G
day apart
 
[Chorus]
    C                G
And every night he'd ask politely
D                                  G
Is there anything that'll make you smile
    C                G
And every time she'd whisper softly
D                                G
Oh my darling, play the Wildwood Flower
 
G   D G
 
[Verse 3]
G                          C
Early one December morning winter came
  G
a calling
D
Not a thing was stirring there
G
in the old home place
G                                    C
They found them by the fireside, the flame
          G
no longer burning
D
She was holding to his hand, a smile
         G
upon her face
 
[Chorus]
       C                G
'Cause every night he'd ask politely
D                                  G
Is there anything that'll make you smile
    C                G
And every time she'd whisper softly
D                       G
Oh my darling, play the Wildwood Flower

[Bridge]
C                   G
When the wind blows through the willows
D                   G
Watch for moonlight dancing on the ground
    C           G
And if you only listen closely
D                                G
Softly you may hear the Wildwood Flower
