 G               D              A                        D 
January back in '55 we rode a Greyhound bus through the Georgia midnight 
  G            D              A 
Grandpa was sleeping and the winter sky was clear 
G         D                        A                    D 
We hit a bump and his head jerked back a little and he mumbled something 
G            D               A        
He woke up smiling, but his eyes were bright with tears 
                   D            G           D 
        Said, "I dreamed I was back on the farm... 
        G              A                    D            A 
        20 years have passed, boy, but the memory still warms me... 
      G       A           D              G  A 
        Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..." 
    G                  D                A              D 
He told me those old stories about that one-room cabin in Kentucky 
      G           D            A 
The smell of the rain and the warm earth in his hands 
     G                 D                  A                D 
He slowly turned and stared outside; his face was mirrored in the window 
G           D              A 
And his reflection flew across the moonlit land 
                 D             G           D 
        And he dreamed he was back on the farm 
         G                  A              D              A 
        Tilts his head and listens to the early sound of morning 
      G       A           D         G  A 
        Wildflowers in a Mason Jar 
   G               D                  A                 D 
An old man and an eight-year-old boy rolling down that midnight highway 
 G        D               A 
Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night 
G           D                A                  D 
I started drifting off and Grandpa tucked his coat around me 
    G                D          A   
I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes 
                 D           G               D 
        And I dreamed I was with him on the farm 
           G              A               D               A   
        "Grandpa, I can hear the evening wind out in the corn... 
      G       A           D            G  A 
        Wildflowers in a Mason Jar... 
      G       A           D            G  A 
        Wildflowers in a Mason Jar... 
      G       A           D            G  A 
        Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..." 
         G            A          D 
And the bus rolled through the night...
