Wildfire by Mandolin Orange - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Mandolin Orange Song List
Version 1
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
A G D
Wildfire
