Am           G
Wild flowers grew out her backdoor
                         Am
Down the hill and to the road
                G
Where young men came to pick them
                         Am
And to others they would go
Dm                Am
Watching trough a dusty window
E7                       Am
Sometimes from dusk til dawn
Dm              Am
Waiting for the man she favored
E7                   Am
But he never came to call


[Chorus]
C.               G
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
                   Am
I guess she always knew
C                 G
Bitterweeds were all she had
                Am
To look forward to


[Verse 2]
Am            G
Her neighbors said she was crazy
                                   Am
'Cause she stared when they walked by
             G
They say she wore a black rose
                         Am
But they never asked her why
Dm                Am
There were rumors never denied
E7                     Am
Growing tall like her grass
Dm                    Am
Gossips said she was widowed
E7                           Am
Talked 'bout a love from her past

[repeat Chorus]

C
               G
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
                   Am
I guess she always knew
C                 G
Bitterweeds were all she had
                Am
To look forward to



[Verse 3]
Am           G
Last Monday, church bells were ringing
                              Am
Down the hill six men walked slow
            G
She finally left that cabin
                        Am
Taking secrets that she knows
Dm                 Am
Watching through a dusty window
E7                      Am
Sometimes from dusk til dawn
Dm              Am
Waiting for the man she favored
E7                   Am
But he never came to call


[repeat Chorus]
C
               G
Bitterweeds were all her garden grew
                   Am
I guess she always knew
C                 G
Bitterweeds were all she had
                Am
To look forward to
