_ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ The hills were alive with [F] _
[C] wildflowers and I Was as wild, [G] even wilder [C] than they
_ Or at least I could run, they [F] just died [C] in the sun And I refused to [G] just wither [C] in place
Just [F] a wild mountain rose [C] needing freedoms to grow [F] So I ran, fearing not [C] where I'd go
[G] _ [C] When a flower grows wild, [F] it can [C] always survive Wildflowers [G] don't care where [C] they grow
_ _ Wildflowers [G] don't care where [C] they grow
_ [F] I _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ met her one day [Bb]
up [F] in the mountains There by a currant [C]-leaf street
_ [F] She glowed like the sun [Bb] in a dress [F] made of gingham She [C] was a city [F] boy's dream
_ [Bb] The rarest flowers [F] grow up in the mountains Up where it's closest [Gm] to the sky
[C] _ [Gm] [F] But if you pick them [Bb] and take them to [F] the city Their bloom [C] will wither [F] and die
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ I'm traveling the highway [Eb] to nowhere Cause [Bb] I can't find the road to [F] your heart
This [Bb] old road is so rough and [Eb] so rocky I [Bb] get lost on [F] the highway to [Bb] your heart
[F] This highway to nowhere [Bb] keeps calling Your [Eb] heart's at the end [Bb] of the line
And I always get lost [Gm] on a detour Cause I [Bb] guess I [F] don't [Bb] understand the sign
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ The moon shone [Eb] down serenely on [Bb] Manhattan _ I [Eb] was here in New [Bb] York City [F] for the show
An [Bb] Irish band [Eb] was playing [Bb] out in Brooklyn _ And the weatherman [F] said it was [Bb] five [Eb] below
[Bb] It [Eb] was then I saw [F] Maria for [Bb] the first time [Eb] And soon we [Bb] were talking [F] like old friends
[Bb] She spoke of life [Eb] in Queens and [Bb] in the city [Eb] And [Bb] of plans to go [F] to L.A. [Bb] in the spring
_ _ [F] Maria's heading out to [Bb]
California _ [Eb] It's the thing in life [Bb] she wants to do [C] the [F] most
[Bb] She's tired [Eb] of living here in New [Bb] York [Eb] City And [Bb] tomorrow she'll [F] be leaving for [Bb] the coast
So tired of [Eb] living here in New York City And [Bb] tomorrow [F] she'll be leaving [Bb] for the coast _ _ _ _ _ _ _
