This song I wrote about me and my little sister Rosie, who mama dubbed her the Wildwood Rose.
In my grandma's house her children would sing, guitars would twang and their laughter would
ring.
I was [Am] little but I [F] was the [G] biggest kid.
I [Am] wanted to do what [F] the grown [G]-ups [C] did.
In an epic shiny car we'd head down the road, sing for the miners who brought out the coal.
Many [Am] times I slept on [F] the floor before [G] she'd comb on [Am] a quill.
My [F] little sister [G] the [C] Wildwood Rose.
[F] And if I could change a bit of this world [C] I'd go back to the days
Grandma and her girls [G] were sweet and sweet and low.
For me and [C]
we'd be away down the brother's break.
Biscuits and gravy and a truck stop.
Saw that [Am] world all my own.
[F] I saw what I [G] saw in the [Am] rearview mirror.
I'd get [F] a wink from my [C] eye.
And if [F] I could change a bit of this world I'd go back to those days.
Grandma and her [G] girls were sweet and sweet and low.

I'll always remember the day that she died.
My daddy kind of started to cry.
[Am] Oh I rode on an airplane [F] with all of my [G] pain.
And [Am] my tears would not stop.
[F] He [G] stood in a [C] circle and sang.
Will this circle be unbroken?
[F] [C]
There's a better home awaited in the sky, [G] Lord, in [C] the sky.
I was standing by my window on [F] my cold cloud [C]
when I saw that first come rolling.
For to carry [G] my mother [C]
through the circle be unbroken.
[F] [C]
[G] This [C] is my favorite verse right here.
I went back home, Lord.
My home was lonesome.
My [F] mother, she [C] is gone.
All my brothers, sisters crying for the sad and woeful song.
Will this circle be unbroken?
[F] By and by, Lord, by [C] and by.
There's a better home awaited in the [G] sky, Lord, in [C] the sky.
Now there's a better home awaited in the sky, Lord, [G] in the [C] sky.
