[Intro]
G  C G  D  G  D  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                               C              G
In the time of the harvest, the leaves fallin' down
                               D             G
I held what my true love could reap from the ground
                               C        G
But the bounty of a garden can all rot away
                                  D            G
Without love and protection and a hard will to stay
 
 
[Chorus]
     C                    G
I'll never have a garden again
                                           D
Where I fall to my knees and work with the land
G                                   C
Now I'm just prayin' with two dirty hands
     G                       D       G     D  G  D  G
I'll never, no, never have a garden again
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                               C            G
For the land, it can dry up and seasons will change
                            D        G      D
A weak love will falter and hearts rearrange
G                         C            G
Gardens need sunshine and gardens need rain
                              D         G
And my tears arе too salty to water the garden
 
 
[Chorus]
        C                     G
But I'm drеamin' of a garden again
                                           D
Where I fall to my knees and work with the land
     G                                    C
'Til then, I'll be prayin' with two dirty hands
    G                            D       G
I'm dreamin', yes, dreamin' of a garden again
 
 
[Interlude]
C   Em   G   D
Em   C   G   D  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                            C            G
Now, me and my new love, the seeds for to sow
                         D            G
Are tendin' the soil and plantin' the rose
                           C           G
For after the winter comes springtime again
                               D              G
And the garden can grow like a heart that can mend
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
    C                     G
I'm livin' in the garden again
                                           D
Where I fall to my knees and work with the land
    G                                C
And I keep on prayin' with two dirty hands
    G                          D       G
I'm livin', yes, livin' in the garden again
                               D       G
I'm livin', yes, livin' in the garden again
