Wildwood Flower Chords

[Verses]
C                            
I will twine and will mingle 
   G7          C
my raven black hair
C                         
With the roses so red and 
    G7        C
the lilies so fair
C                             F       C
And the myrtle so green of an emerald hue
C                        G7       C
And the pale emanita and islip so blue
 
C                          
Oh he promised to love me, 
     G7          C
he promised to love
C                             G7   C
And cherish me always all others above
C                             F       C
I woke from my dream and my idol was clay
C                        G7        C
My passion for loving had vanished away
 
C                            
Oh he taught me to love him, 
    G7           C
he called me his flower
C                      
A blossom to cheer him 
         G7          C
through life's weary hour
C                       F       C
But now he has gone and left me alone
C                            
The wild flowers to weep and 
    G7            C
the wild birds to moan
 
C                        
I'll dance and I'll sing 
       G7           C
and my life will be gay
C                         
I'll banish this weeping, 
      G7        C
drive troubles away
C                        
I'll live yet to see him 
  F              C
regret this dark hour
C                         
When he won and neglected 
     G7             C
this frail wildwood flower.
