Capo 1
C D Am7
G Dsus D
He said I know I’m not the man that he imagined for his daughter
Em C
I’m not what he had in mind
G Dsus D
He said her daddy probably dreamed about some lawyer or a doctor
Em C
But I never was that kind
Em C Dsus D
We were in love and that’s all that mattered
Em C D
You know her heart was all that I was after
G C
He said I’m a dandelion she’s a buttercup
D C G7
I’m the clover she’s the luck
G Am7 Em
She’s a painted daisy I’m the bluegrass underneath
Em D C
She’s all faith and I’m the doubter
Em D C
She’s the sweet and I’m the sour
G D Em C
We’re like weeds and wildflowers
G D
He said I asked her back in 62 if she’d be mine forever
Em C
Lets run away and go to Vegas
G Em
She said I wanna be a wife But there has got to be a preacher
Em C D
I want all of God’s angels to see us
Em C Dsus D
We rolled the dice on life and made it
Em C D
If there’s a storm inside it we faced it
G C
He said I’m a dandelion she’s a buttercup
D C G
I’m the clover she’s the luck
G Am7 Em
She’s a painted daisy I’m the bluegrass underneath
D C
She’s all faith and I’m the doubter
Em D C
She’s the sweet and I’m the sour
Em D C
We’re like weeds and wildflowers
Em D
He sad just last fall Heaven called
C D
and the preacher asked if I would stand before the crowd
Em
And say a few last words
D
And on the mountainside
C Em
Misty eyed I couldn’t help but notice
D C Em
All the daisies as they laid her in the earth
G C
He said I’m a dandelion She was my buttercup
D C G
I’m the clover she will always be my love
G C Em
Now I’m going crazy Yeah she was my everything
D C
She had faith now I’m without her
Em D C
Oh our love goes on forever
Em D C
How I long to be beside her
G D Em C
Just like weeds and wildflowers
