The Garden Live chords by Elle Cordova

Verse 1:

  G           D         Em        G
I went to the garden to find me a flower
         C           G          Am               D
  then I meant to go home but I stayed there for hours
    G          D        Em           G
Now I’m just a honeybee drunk on the bower
          C          G      D
  and I’m under your power dear

(Play the D chord for an extra measure before 2nd verse)

Verse 2:

G         D              Em            G
I learned guitar just to sing you this song
        C             G           Am             D
  but I messed up the words and I got the chords wrong
    G       D            Em          G
Now I never meant for to love you so long
           C       G       D
  but it’s been so long my dear

Interlude:
   C G D
Oooo

Verse 3:

  G           D         Em        G
I went to the market to find me a ring
      C          G           Am         D
  but I’ve never known me to like shiny things
     G               D          Em            G
So I guess I’ll just give it to you don’t you think
     C              G       D
  It looked kind of nice on you

Verse 4:

G            D             Em           G
I learned to write just to pen you them lines
       C              G        Am        D
  I confess they were prettier inside my mind
    G       D               Em       G
Now I never thought I’s the marrying kind
          C        G         D
  but I’d spend my life with you

Interlude:
  C G D     C G D
Oooooo     Oooooo

Verse 5:

  G           D        Em        G
I went to the mason to find me a stone
         C            G           Am        D
  then I picked out a plot for my weary old bones
      G             D            Em            G
And I don’t like to leave you, I hope that you know
    C                 G         D
  I loved you through all these years


Verse 6:
           G           D          Em         G
Now you’re back in the garden and singing my song
      C                G          Am         D
  and though you can’t hear me, I still sing along
G       D            Em        G
I never meant for to leave you alone
      C           G       D
  but you’re not alone my dear
