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
