Melanie - Gardens in the City
CAPO: 2nd Fret
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
When I was young, I lived in the country
FF G+G C majorC
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why
FF G+G C majorC
Now that I've grown, I live in the city
FF G+G C majorC
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky
FF G+G C majorC
I once met a man, who lived in the city
FF G+G C majorC
The stone was his home, he said his heart was mine
FF G+G C majorC
He led me far away, when he told me I was pretty
FF G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G
How strange to go so far and never touch the sky
CHORUS:
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Gardens grow, most times in the country
A minorAm FF G+G Am-G-
Grow a-wondrous high
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Gardens grow, sometimes in the city
A minorAm FF G+G
Grow, but soon they die
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Now I look up at the buildings of the city
FF G+G C majorC
Their fingers are so much longer than mine
FF G+G C majorC
I wish I had the hands of the city
FF G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G
For heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky
CHORUS:
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Gardens grow, most times in the country
A minorAm FF G+G Am-G-
Grow a-wondrous high
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Gardens grow, sometimes in the city
A minorAm FF G+G
Grow, but soon they die
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
When I was young, I lived in the country
FF G+G C majorC
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why
FF G+G C majorC
Now that I've grown, I live in the city
FF G+G C majorC
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky
