Tend The Garden chords by Gang Of Youths
Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1: F I was young, it was the '60s, you see Am I never wanted to be the chief of anything F So it was singing in the church for me Am Behind the organ was as close as I'd ever be Dm There was a woman that I knew before Am She was in Auckland, she was spoken for Dm My hair was short, my skin was brown Am I did construction work from town to town F
There were things we did and should not have done Am Been half a century since I seen my sons Chorus: F G Em F Lord knows if they would ever forgive me C Dm F I won't forgive myself, at least F G Em F C There are strange forces in the air only time can unleash Dm F In a way I still believe Verse 2: F I fell in love, it was the '90s, you see Am I met a woman across the Tasman in '83 F And we settled down and raised a couple kids Am But I couldn't bring myself to tell 'em what I did Dm I hope that one day if they find my sons F They'll tell 'em everything that I've become Dm And I will hold it 'til my dying breath Am When I tend the garden I will think of them F But my youngest kid, he can't shut his mouth Am I guess it won't be long 'til the truth is out Chorus: F G Em F Lord knows if they would ever forgive me C Dm F I won't forgive myself, at least F G Em F C There are strange forces in the air only time can unleash Dm F In a way I still believe Interlude: You know, with your dad He had his reasons You know, to, to leave the island Go to New Zealand, to go to Australia Interlude: F C F C F C F G Verse 3: F In the instance of pain C I look straight down at the iris F If the irises fade C I spend days out in the yard Dm In the absence of rain G I take a seat down at the organ G And I play G Lord I play Dm Ah
