  "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...
