Subject: Chords/Lyrics to "Wildflowers in a Mason Jar" by John Denver


"Wildflowers in a Mason Jar" as performed by John Denver
Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal [mschweis@u.washington.edu]

Chords used: D:XX0232  G:320003  A:X02220

NOTE:  I don't know how to do tablature very well, so you'll have to
listen to the song and fiddle with D, G and A suspendeds to get the same
sound that John Denver does on his intro...note that the same "riff" that
you play as an intro comes at the end of each chorus...a '|' mark
indicates a measure break...enjoy!--Mike
