[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
 
 
[CHORUS]
  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
 
 
[CHORUS]
  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
 
 
[CHORUS]
  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
