A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
On the fifth day of May, she was breaking away
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
When the moon came and sat on your shoulder
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
She was still young, not yet highly strung
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
As you need to be when you get older
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
George was a street, when you first faced the feat
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
You put money on the color of the sky
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Well the color of her voice left you there no choice
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
But to drink the Liffey dry
CHORUS
F C
The seeds that you sow
G
You outta watch them growing
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A A
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Here comes Holy Joe, now how would he know
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
How laughter can make a man cruel
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
It's fire on fire, and lovers conspire
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
To either a duet or duel
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
When it's fire on fire, the flames just get higher
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
The harder you work to put them out
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Well you know that you're similar, sugar and weedkiller
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Both heading north facing south
CHORUS
F C
The seeds that you sow
G
You outta watch them growing
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A A
Wild...
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
What's on your breath is the fear of death
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
That makes such a man promiscuous
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Your mouth was dry like when you were bound to lie
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
And her lips are so luscious
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
You've seen it before, you hurled at her door
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Like a dog when she needed a man
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Now she aches and she breaks, and she takes
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
All the weight of your world, 'cause she almost can
CHORUS
F C
The seeds that you sow
G
You outta watch them growing
F C
The wind, where will it blow
G
My flower child... growing
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A A A A
Wild...
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
The sky was steel grey, up on Appian Way
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
As the yellow hats dug up the road
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
Didn't hear what you said, as the lights turned red
A A/G D/F# D Dsus D
On a love that should have stayed gold
A
Gold...
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
A G
Wild, you grow wild
G C Em
You grow wild in my heart
