G C G The hills were alive with wild flowers and I D G Was as wild even wilder than they C G For at least I could run they just died in the sun D G And I refused to just wither in place C G Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow C G D So I ran fearing not where I'd go-o-o G C G When a flower grows wild it can always survive D G Wildflowers don't care where they grow C G And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew D G Were content to be lost in the crowd C G They were commonly close I had no room to grow D G And I wanted so much to branch out C G So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left C G D Took my dreams and I took to the road-o-oad G C G When a flower grows wild it can always survive D G Wildflowers don't care where they grow C G I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right D G In a garden so different from me C G I just never belonged I just longed to be gone D 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 D I just let him decide where we'd go-o-o G C G When a flower grows wild it can always survive D G Wildflowers don't care where they grow C G Just a wild mountain rose seeking mysteries untold C G D No regrets for the path that I chose-o-ose G C G When a flower grows wild it can always survive D G Wildflowers don't care where they grow This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
