[Verse 1]
A G
Brave men fall with a battle cry
D
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones
A
and their brothers in arms
G D
So it went, for Joseph Warren
A G
It should have been different, it could
have been easy
D
His rank could have saved him, but a
A
country unborn needs bravery
G D
And it spread like wildfire
[Chorus]
A G D
Wildfire
A G D
Wildfire
[Verse 2]
A G
From the ashes grew sweet liberty
D
Like the seeds of the pines when the
forest burns
A G D
They open up, grow and burn again
A G
It should have been different, it could
have been easy
D
But too much money rolled in to ever end
A
slavery
G D
The cry for war spread like wildfire
[Chorus]
A G D
Wildfire
A G D
Wildfire
[Instrumental]
A G D (x2)
[Verse 3]
A G
Civil war came, civil war went
D
Brother fought brother, the south was
spent
A G
But its true demise was hatred, passed
D
down through the years
A G
It should have been different, it could
have been easy
D
But pride has a way of holding too firm
A
to history
G D
And it burns like wildfire
[Chorus]
A G D
Wildfire
A G D
Wildfire
[Instrumental]
A G D
(x2)
[Verse 4]
A G
I was born a southern son
D
In a small southern town where the
rebels run wild
A G
They beat their chest and they swear:
D
we're gonna rise again
A G
It should have been different, it could
have been easy
D
The day that old Warren died, hate
A
should have gone with it
G D
But here we are, caught in the wildfire
[Chorus]
A G D
Wildfire
A G D
Wildfire
