[Verse 1]
AmWild flowers Ggrew out her backdoor
Down the hill and to the Amroad
Where young men Gcame to pick them
And to others they would Amgo
DmWatching trough a Amdusty window
E7Sometimes from dusk til dAmawn
DmWaiting for the Amman she favored
E7But he never came to Amcall
[Chorus]
C.               G
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
I guess she always Amknew
CBitterweeds were aGll she had
To look forward Amto
[Verse 2]
AmHer neighbors Gsaid she was crazy
'Cause she stared when they walked Amby
They say she Gwore a black rose
But they never asked her Amwhy
DmThere were rumors Amnever denied
E7Growing tall like her gAmrass
DmGossips said she was wAmidowed
E7Talked 'bout a love from her Ampast
[repeat Chorus]
C
Bitterweeds werGe all her garden grew
I guess she always Amknew
CBitterweeds were aGll she had
To look forward Amto
[Verse 3]
AmLast Monday, Gchurch bells were ringing
Down the hill six men walked sAmlow
She finally Gleft that cabin
Taking secrets that she Amknows
DmWatching through a Amdusty window
E7Sometimes from dusk til Amdawn
DmWaiting for the Amman she favored
E7But he never came to Amcall
[repeat Chorus]
C
Bitterweeds werGe all her garden grew
I guess she always Amknew
CBitterweeds were aGll she had
To look forward Amto

Down the hill six men walked slow

She finally left that cabin

Taking secrets that she knows

Waiting for the man she favored

E7 Am

But he never came to call
