_ _ _ _ Twas the [Ab] _
wildflowers I preferred, _ who [Bb] owed nothing to [Ab] nobody, _ _
but blossomed in the ditches _ and made [Eb] their own way [Ab] in [Db] the world. _
_ _ Twas the wildflowers I admired, _ _ who [Eb] never _ [Fm]
done nothing to [Ab] you,
_ _ [Db] but [Ab] driven from the garden, _ _ _ [Eb] sang their own songs [Ab] in the spring.
_ [Db] _ _
You can have [Ab] your lily, [Db] _
you can have [Ab] your rose,
_ [Db] that were [Ab] taken and broken [Eb] and bred by [Fm] men.
They [Db] were grafted [Ab] and lain, _
[Db] twisted and [Eb] _ [Eb] tamed, _
but [Db] the wildflowers [Ab] I enjoyed, _ _ they had [Eb] nothing _ [Fm] to do with you.
[Ab] _ _ [Db] They flowered [Ab] by the roadside, _ _ and wore [Eb] their own colors [Bb] in the sun.

were there [Ab] before you, [Db] _ [Ab] they'll be there after [Db] you,
that will [Ab] out, that will out, [Bb] like your own [Fm] true nature.
You can [Db] try, you can [Ab] try, [Bbm] but you never will [Eb] defeat _ _ _ _
[Db] The wildflowers [Ab] I enjoyed, _ _ _ [Fm] they had nothing [Ab] to do with you,
[Db] _ banished [Ab] from the garden, _ _ they [Eb] made their own way [Fm] in, _
_ _ [C] sang [Ab] their own songs [Db] in the spring, _ and wore their [Bb] _
own [Eb] colors _ in the [Ab] sun.
