How She Could Sing the Wildwood Flower Emmylou Harris
How she could si[C]ng the Wildwood Flower[F]
The or[C]phan girl he would love so [G7]long
In the [C]end he knew she'd been his finest [F]hour
And [C]all he has left [G7]of her is a [C]song
He first saw her standing by a cabin door
Her song was ringing out in a voice so [G7]strong and [C]sure
To the lonesome valley he'd bring her there to be his bride
Where they would live and work to[G7]gether side by [C]side
She was his sunshine she was his moon and morning star
His words would ring true on the [G7]chords of her [C]guitar
But he was driven and lost to her for days and days
Till the lonesome valley finally [G7]drove her far [C]away
Repeat #1
We all cling to as the years keep rolling on
One single promise of a [G7]love that's past and [C]gone
And that lonesome valley we all walk it by ourselves
Where the Wildwood Flower is a [G7]story we will [C]tell
Repeat #1
How she could sing the Wildwood [F]Flower
All [C]we have left [G7]of her is a [C]song
