Mean Mary - Ballad Of The Wildwood [Intro] G D7 G C C G D7 G D7 G [Verse 1]

In the forest, in the sunlight, in the ^Cuntamed ^Gbreeze Like ^Ckings of the ^Gearth we ^D7danced ‘neath the ^Gtrees I won your heart because I ^Cknew I ^Gcould And I ^Cleft you ^Gthere in the wild ^D7wild^Gwood

[Chorus]

I left you there in the ^CEden of ^Ggod ^CClothed in ^Gwind and your ^Cfeet un^D7shod And I ^Gstill recall how ^Cstraight you ^Gstood When I ^Cleft you ^Gthere in the wild ^D7wild^Gwood

[Interlude] G [Verse 2]

I set you adrift on an ^Curban ^Gsea But ^Cwhat you’ve be^Gcome, is dis^D7turbing ^Gme I dream of eyes with ^Cdying ^Gflame I ^Cheard a ^Gnight bird call ^D7your ^Gname

[Chorus]

I left you there in the ^CEden of ^Ggod ^CClothed in ^Gwind and your ^Cfeet un^D7shod And I ^Gstill recall how ^Cstraight you ^Gstood When I ^Cleft you ^Gthere in the wild ^D7wild^Gwood

[Instrumental] G C G C G D7 G (2x) [Bridge]

I’m waiting now like you ^Cwaited be^Gfore I’ve ^Cwaited long, I’ll ^Dwait some more No ^Ggate’s too tall, no ^Cwait’s too ^Glong No ^Cgain’s too small, no chain’s too ^Dstrong___

[Chorus]

I ^Gwant to walk in the ^CEden of ^Ggod ^CClothed in ^Gwind, my ^Cfeet un^D7shod And I ^Gwant to stand where ^Cangel’s ^Gstood And ^Cdance with ^Gyou in the wild ^D7wild^Gwood

[Interlude] G [Verse 3]

The stars are gone and the ^Cmoon’s gone ^Gtoo They ^Cmust have ^Ggiven ^D7up on ^Gyou As you slave away each ^Chour by ^Ghour Are you ^Clooking for ^Gwealth or for a wild^D7wood ^Gflower?

[Interlude] G D G D G D G [Outro]

N.C.

want to stand where ^Cangel’s ^Gstood And ^Cdance with ^Gyou in the ^D7wild wild^Emwood
