CAPO: 4


Intro: G 

verse 1: 
                         C 
I come to this garden, I come here to rest 
D                   G 
Early each day upon rising 
                             C        D 
I think of my lost love from over the sea 
    C              G            D             G    {G-Gb} (bass walk-down) 
And sometimes I've wondered, if she thinks of me 


 
  Em        A          D           G 
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word 
  C           F            Bb   D 
I miss her so much I could die 
        G                      C            D 
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart 
         C          G             D         G     F  C  G  D  G 
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart 


verse 2: 
                                     C 
There's peace in the garden, there's peace in the air 
D                         G 
Peace in the sound of the river 
                                 C               D 
There's peace in the meadow, the sun shines like gold 
    C           G                  D           G    {G-Gb} (bass walk-down) 
And if she were with me there'd be peace in my soul 


 
  Em        A           D         G 
I long to return to the place I remember 
    C            F             Bb    D 
The taste of her lips close to mine 
  G                       C          D 
I could do much better if I could be strong 
     C       G           D         G     F  C  G  D  G 
Come into my garden, but leave me alone 


verse 3: 
                         C 
I come to this garden, I come here to rest 
D                       G 
Just as the night comes stealing 
                        C           D 
Someone is weeping, I'm calling her name 
C           G          D          G      {G-Gb} (bass walk-down) 
Deep in the garden and deep in my brain 


 
  Em        A          D           G 
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word 
  C           F            Bb   D 
I miss her so much I could die 
        G                      C            D 
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart 
         C          G             D         G   
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart 
                               C            D 
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart 
         C          G             D         G     F  C  G  D  G 
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
