The Gardener
The Tallest Man on Earth
Intro: F#m F#m F#m A A A
Verse 1:
A F#m A9 Amaj D
I sense a runner in the garden
E E7 A
Although my judgements known to fail
E F#m A9 Amaj D
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
Dmaj E E7 A
'Cause I'd forgotten how to sail
Chorus:
E A A9 Amaj D
I know the runner's going to tell you
E A A9 Amaj F#m
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
E A A9 Amaj D
So now he's buried by the daisies
E A
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
Verse 2:
E F#m A9 Amaj D
I sense a spy up in the chimney
E E7 A
From all the evidence I've burned
E F#m A9 Amaj D
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
E E7 A
And soon to ashes I'll return
Chorus:
E A A9 Amaj F#m
I know the spy is going to tell you
E A A9 Amaj D
It's not my flag up in the pole
E A A9 Amaj D
So now he's buried by the lilies
E A
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
Verse 3:
E F#m A9 Amaj D
I sense a leak inside my phone now
E E7 A
From all the lies I have told
F#m A9 Amaj D
I know he has your private number
E E7 A
And soon he'll make that vicious call
Chorus:
E A A9 Amaj D
I know the leak is going to tell you
E A A9 Amaj D
There ain't no puppy in your leash
E A A9 Amaj D
So now he'll fertilize the roses
E
So I could stay the king you see
A E A
In your eyes, babe
E A
In your eyes, babe
Solo:

Verse 4:
E F#m A9 Amaj D
So now we're dancing through the garden
E E7 A
And what a garden I have made
E F#m A9 Amaj D
And now that death will grow my jasmine
E E7 A
I find it soothing I'm afraid
Final Chorus:
E A A9 Amaj D
Now there is no need for suspicion
E A A9 Amaj D
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
E A A9 Amaj D
I won't be lying when I tell you...
F#m E
That I'm a Gardner I'm a man
A E A
In your eyes babe
D A E A
In your eyes babe
D E A
