Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a super simple but beautiful song. You can play it straight as shown, or if you want to add a little
finesse you could hammer chords and throw is a sus or two. Enjoy!
There's actually two instrumentals in the song, but the first is for mandolin and the second is for lead
guitar. So I just play them as two loops of the chords progression.
[Verse 1]
A G
Brave men fall with a battle cry
D A
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones 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 A
His rank could have saved him, but 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 A
But too much money rolled in to ever end 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 D
But its true demise was hatred, passed down through the years
A G
It should have been different, it could have been easy
D A
But pride has a way of holding too firm 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 D
They beat their chest and they swear: we're gonna rise again
A G
It should have been different, it could have been easy
D A
The day that old Warren died, hate should have gone with it
G D
But here we are, caught in the wildfire
[Chorus]
A G D
Wildfire
