Verse 1:
 B                    A
Brave men fall with a battle cry
E                                                             B
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in arms
      A                E
So it went, for Joseph Warren

   B                              A
It should have been different, it could have been easy
    E                                                     B
His rank could have saved him, but a country unborn needs bravery
       A            E
And it spread like wildfire

Chorus:
B   A   E
   Wildfire
B   A   E
   Wildfire

Verse 2:
          B                A
From the ashes grew sweet liberty
          E
Like the seeds of the pines when the forest burns
      B        A             E
They open up, grow and burn again


    B                              A
It should have been different, it could have been easy
     E                                    B
But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery
            A                E
The cry for war spread like wildfire

Chorus:
B   A   E
   Wildfire
B   A   E
   Wildfire

Instrumental (x2): B   A   E

Verse 3:
 B               A
Civil war came, civil war went
E
Brother fought brother, the south was spent
         B               A                   E
But its true demise was hatred, passed down through the years


    B                              A
It should have been different, it could have been easy
     E                                       B
But pride has a way of holding too firm to history
        A           E
And it burns like wildfire

Chorus:
B   A   E
   Wildfire
B   A   E
   Wildfire

Instrumental (x2): B   A   E

Verse 4:
B               A
  I was born a southern son
      E
In a small southern town where the rebels run wild
B                                A                    E
 They beat their chest and they swear: we're gonna rise again


    B                              A
It should have been different, it could have been easy
    E                                                      B
The day that old Warren died, hate should have gone with it
            A                    E
But here we are, caught in the wildfire

Chorus:
B   A   E
   Wildfire
B   A   E
   Wildfire
