The Gardener Chords & Tabs
The original of this song is very difficult to play, so I wrote an easier version if you
just want the general tune.
G Em
I sense a runner in the garden
C D7
Although my judgment's known to fail
G Em
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
C D7
Cause I'd forgotten how to sail
C D7 G
I know the runner's going to tell you
C D7 G
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
C D7 G
So now he's buried by the daisies
C D7 G
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
G Em
I sense a spy up in the chimney
C D7
From all the evidence I've burned
G Em
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
C D7
And soon to ashes I'll return

C D7 G
I know the spy is going to tell you
C D7 G
It's not my flag up in the pole
C D7 G
So now he's buried by the lilies
C D7 G
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
G Em
I sense a leak inside my phone now
C D7
From all the lies I have told
G Em
I know he has your private number
C D7
And soon he'll make that vicious call
C D7 G
I know the leak is going to tell you
C D7 G
There ain't no puppy in your leash
C D7 G
So now he'll fertilize the roses
C D7 G
So I could stay the king you see in your eyes, babe (x2)
G Em
So now we're dancing through the garden
C D7
And what a garden I have made
G Em
And now that death will grow my jasmine
C D7
I find it soothing I'm afraid
C D7 G
Now there is no need for suspicion
C D7 G
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
C D7 G
I won't be lying when I tell you
C D7
That I'm a gardner I'm a man
G
In your eyes babe (x2)
C G
In your eyes babe.
