GARDEN IN THE CITY

(Transcribed by Jim McGuire)
Capo 2nd fret

When I was young I lived in the country
C…………….F………G…………..C……
Clouds were my friends I cannot answer why
C…………………F………..G……………..C..
Now that I've grown I live in the city
C………………F……...G………..C…
And heaven is so far I cannot reach the sky
C……………….…F……G………………C…

I once met a man who lived in the city
C……………F…………G………….C…
The stone was his home he said his heart was mine
C…………………….F………G……………………C..
He led me far away when he told me I was pretty
C……………….F……………..G……………..C..
How strange to go so far and never touch the sky
C………………………F………..G………………C..

Gardens grow most times in the country grow a-wondrous high
C………..F…………..G…………..C………F……….…………G..
Gardens grow sometimes in the city grow, but soon they die
C………..F…………..G…………..C….F…………………….G.

Now I look up at the buildings of the city
C…………F……………G……………..C..
Their fingers are so much longer than mine
C…………………F…………G………….C..
I wish I had the hands of the city
C………F……….G……………C..
For heaven is so far I cannot reach the sky
C………………...F……..G……………….C

SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE
Gardens grow most times in the country grow a-wondrous high
Gardens grow sometimes in the city grow, but soon they die.

When I was young I lived in the country
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why
Now that I've grown I live in the city
And heaven is so far I cannot reach the sky
And heaven is so far I'll never touch the sky
