How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower
Emmylou Harris
Intro: E-B-E
Chorus
E A
How she could sing the wildwood flower
E B
The orphan girl he would love so long
E A
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
E B E
And all he has left of her is a song
E
He first saw her Standing by a cabin door
B E
Her song was ringing out in a voice so strong and sure
To the lonesome valley, he'd bring her there to be his bride
B E
Where they would live and work together, side by side
E
She was his sunshine, she was his moon and morning star
B E
His words would ring true on the chords of her guitar
But he was driven and lost to her for days and days
B E
Till the lonesome valley finally drove her far away
Repeat Chorus
E A
How she could sing the wildwood flower
E B
The orphan girl he would love so long
E A
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
E B E
And all he has left of her is a song
Instrumental: E-A-E-B-E-A-E-B-E
E
We all cling to as the years keep rolling on
B E
One single promise of a love that's past and gone
And that lonesome valley, we all walk it by ourselves
B E
Where the wildwood flower is a story we will tell
Repeat Chorus
E A
How she could sing the wildwood flower
E B
The orphan girl he would love so long
E A
In the end he knew she'd been his finest hour
E B E E-B-E
And all he has left of her is a song
E A
How she could sing the wildwood flower
E B E E-B-E
All we have left of her is a song
