"Wildflowers in a Mason Jar" as performed by John Denver

Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal [mschweis@u.washington.edu]

Chords used: D:XX0232 G:320003 A:X02220

NOTE: I don't know how to do tablature very well, so you'll have to

listen to the song and fiddle with D, G and A suspendeds to get the same

sound that John Denver does on his intro...note that the same "riff" that

you play as an intro comes at the end of each chorus...a '|' mark

indicates a measure break...enjoy!--Mike

INTRO: | D | G A |

G D A D

January back in '55 we rode a Greyhound bus through the Georgia midnight

G D A

Grandpa was sleeping and the winter sky was clear

G D A D

We hit a bump and his head jerked back a little and he mumbled something

G D A

He woke up smiling, but his eyes were bright with tears

D G D

Said, "I dreamed I was back on the farm...

G A D A

20 years have passed, boy, but the memory still warms me...

G A D G A

Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."

G D A D

He told me those old stories about that one-room cabin in Kentucky

G D A

The smell of the rain and the warm earth in his hands

G D A D

He slowly turned and stared outside; his face was mirrored in the window

G D A

And his reflection flew across the moonlit land

D G D

And he dreamed he was back on the farm

G A D A

Tilts his head and listens to the early sound of morning

G A D G A

Wildflowers in a Mason Jar

G D A D

An old man and an eight-year-old boy rolling down that midnight highway

G D A

Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night

G D A D

I started drifting off and Grandpa tucked his coat around me

G D A

I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes

D G D

And I dreamed I was with him on the farm

G A D A

"Grandpa, I can hear the evening wind out in the corn...

G A D G A

Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...

G A D G A

Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...

G A D G A

Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."

G A D

And the bus rolled through the night...
