Lyrics

The hills were a live with wild (Eb)flow ers and (Bb)I

was as wild, e ven (F7)wild (Eb)er than (Bb)they.

For at least I could run; they just (Eb)died in the sun;

and I re fused to just (F)with (Eb)er in (Bb)place.

So, Just a (Eb)wild moun tain rose, need ing (Bb)free dom to grow, so I (Eb)ran, fear ing not where I’d (Bb)go.

When a (Bb)flow er grows wild, it can (Eb)al ways sur (Bb)vive.

Wild flow ers don’t (F7)care where (Eb)they (Bb)grow.

And the flow ers I knew in the (Eb)fields where I (Bb)grew

were con tent to be (F7)lost (Eb)in the (Bb)crowd.

They were com mon and close; I had (Eb)no room for growth

and I the want ed so (F)much (Eb)to branch (Bb)out.

I I up (Eb)root ed my self from my (Bb)home ground and left, took my (Eb)dreams and I took to the (Bb)road.

When a (Bb)flow er grows wild, it can (Eb)al ways sur (Bb)vive.

Wild flow ers don’t (F7)care where (Eb)they (Bb)grow.

And the

I grew up fast and wild and I (Eb)nev er felt (Bb)right

in a gar den so (F7)dif (Eb)f’rent from (Bb)me.

I just nev er be longed, I just (Eb)longed to be gone,

and so the gar den one (F)day (Eb)set me (Bb)free.

I hitched a (Eb)ride with the wind and since (Bb)he was my friend, I just (Eb)let him de cide where we’d (Bb)go.

When a (Bb)flow er grows wild, it can (Eb)al ways sur (Bb)vive.

Wild flow ers don’t (F7)care where (Eb)they (Bb)grow.

And the

I grew

About “Wildflowers

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Wildflowers"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Eb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Wildflowers" by Dolly Parton played in?
Wildflowers is arranged in the key of Eb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Wildflowers"?
The arrangement plays at 140 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Wildflowers" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Wildflowers"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Wildflowers"?

What other songs by Dolly Parton can I play here?
Try "NINE TO FIVE", "HE'S EVERYTHING", "HERE YOU COME AGAIN". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Wildflowers" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 140 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
