[Verse 1]
   G                      F
Brave men fought with the battle cry
   C/G                                                          G
Tears filled the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in arms
          F          C/G
And so it went, for Joseph Warren
   G
It should have been different
   F
It could have been easy
   C/G
His rank could have saved him
                     G
But a country unborn needs bravery
        F            C/G
And it spread like wildfire
 
 
[Chorus]
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
 
[Verse 2]
    G                    F
From the ashes grew sweet liberty
          C/G
Like the seeds of the pines when the forest burns
    G            F            C/G
They open up to grow and burn again
    G
It should have been different
    F
It could have been easy
    C/G                                    G
But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery
            F               C/G
The cry for war spread like wildfire
 
 
[Chorus]
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
 
[Verse 3]
 G              F
Civil War came, Civil War went
 C/G
Brother fought the brother, the South was spent
 G                      F                  C/G
But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years
   G
It should have been different
   F
It could have been easy
   C/G                                       G
But pride has a way of holding too firm to history
       F          C/G
And it burns like wildfire
 
[Chorus]
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
 
[Verse 4]
G               F
I was a born a southern son
     C/G
In a small southern town where the rebels run wild
     G                          F                    C/G
They beat their chests and they swear we're going to rise again
   G
It should have been different
   F
It could have been easy
   C/G
The day that old Warren died hate should have gone with him
G            F                C/G
But here we are caught in the wildfire
 
[Chorus]
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
G   F   C/G
Wildfire
G   F   C/G
Wildfire

The C is played as a C/G in the original song. But other than that these are the correct chords.

Agree with @widmann.jan. Looks and sounds like C/G. Otherwise great tab. Thanks.

Wonderful. I love that Paste set!
