GARDEN OF LAVENDER
SUN KIL MOON
DADGAD TUNING
A augmentedA = 777600
E MajorE = 222100
FF = 333200
G+G = 555400
A augmentedA G+G FF E MajorE FF G+G
A augmentedA G+G
Was on a flight home from?well, it doesn?t matter
FF E MajorE FF G+G
With eleven hours, a million thoughts were gathering
A augmentedA G+G
My mind kept going to my garden of lavender
FF E MajorE FF G+G
I wanted to get to them so they wouldn?t die
A augmentedA G+G
When I got home, they were dry as wheat
FF E MajorE FF G+G
While the vines thrived around them B-horror film green
A augmentedA G+G
Not sure what my lavender symbolize
FF E MajorE FF G+G
But inside my heart cried
A augmentedA G+G
My heart is drawn to the small out-of-the-way things
FF E MajorE FF G+G
That I can?t help but to give my focus and attention and care
A augmentedA G+G
Cause they shut off what hijacks my brain
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And help to tune out what can cause me pain
A augmentedA G+G
And I care for the animals around my yard
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And my sister?s children and I care for my garden
A augmentedA G+G
Swarmed upon by bumblebees
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And yellow jackets and wasps and hornets that can dart out and sting
A augmentedA G+G
I see the big orange tabby cat
FF E MajorE FF G+G
Getting warm on the cover of the hot tub
A augmentedA G+G
He turns over on his back
FF E MajorE FF G+G
Looking for a belly rub
A augmentedA G+G
I see the deer tracks in the snow
FF E MajorE
On the animal path
FF G+G
That leads into my backyard
A augmentedA G+G
I hear the sound of my girlfriend?s car
FF E MajorE FF G+G
Coming up the driveway and it fills my heart With joy
A augmentedA G+G
Though I know it will all end someday
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And someone else will be sleeping in my mountain house
A augmentedA G+G
Wondering who lived here before
FF E MajorE
Just like I sometimes do
FF G+G
Though I never really cared to explore
A augmentedA G+G
I see the chocolate and peanut butter cat
FF E MajorE
I look at him and he looks back
FF G+G
I snap my fingers and blow him a kiss
A augmentedA G+G
He rubs his head against my hand and we reminisce
FF E MajorE
I walk downtown and see the Christmas lights
FF G+G
Along the highway and how they shine
A augmentedA G+G
And I?m reminded of when I was a child
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And how happy I felt when I opened the box and saw a guitar inside
A augmentedA G+G
Was on a flight to somewhere I can?t remember
FF E MajorE FF G+G
I feel like I?ve lived so many lives, I can?t put it all together
A augmentedA G+G
Dordrecht, Holland, yeah that was it
FF E MajorE FF G+G
I had a nice dinner with a concert promoter and his Korean wife, Suyoung Kim
A augmentedA G+G
Then dropped me off at an old spooky hotel
FF E MajorE FF G+G
I felt like an old man in a castle looking over at the canal
A augmentedA G+G
And I went and I played for a crowd but my heart wasn?t there
FF E MajorE FF G+G
I came back to my room and slouched in my bed
A augmentedA G+G
And I fell asleep still stewing about my dried up lavender
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And I fell asleep in the dark dead night
A augmentedA G+G
And I dreamed of a bluejay picking up a seed
FF E MajorE FF G+G
And passing it to another?s beak
A augmentedA G+G
Then watched him soar to another branch
FF E MajorE FF G+G
Then a baby possum hissed at me as I crept up on him near a trash can
A augmentedA G+G
And I woke up one rainy morning in Dordrecht, Holland
FF E MajorE FF G+G
Then got on a flight for London, England
A augmentedA G+G FF E MajorE FF G+G
