When the sun goes down and the heat stays on 
                                  Em 
The young men fight and carry on 
                                         D 
It's just a way of life down here in The Gardens 

Verse 
G                                      C 
This side's mine and that side's yours 
                                         Em 
You can't walk here and break the rules 
                 D                     G 
The rules we all know down here in The Gardens

             C 
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend 
         Em 
With the windows barred and the kids locked in 
G                                       D 
One more night to make your life slowly harden 
             C 
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend 
      Em 
Where mommas cry and daddies say 
                     D           G 
"One more night down here in The Gardens"

When the boys drive through and the bullets fly 
C 
The baby plays and waits to die 
    Em                                 D 
The daddy breaks down and cries in The Gardens 

Verse 
         G 
He can't have her back and he knows too well 
       C 
'Cause he's just dying on the hill 
        Em           D               G 
In this quiet little town called The Gardens
