Garden In The City chords by Melanie

Melanie - Gardens in the City


CAPO: 2nd Fret


C     F    G      C
When I was young, I lived in the country
        F     G       C
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why
       F    G      C
Now that I've grown, I live in the city
         F   G        C
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky


       F    G      C
I once met a man, who lived in the city
         F    G         C
The stone was his home, he said his heart was mine
        F      G       C
He led me far away, when he told me I was pretty
           F    G        C  F C G F C G
How strange to go so far and never touch the sky


CHORUS:
C    F     G      C
Gardens grow, most times in the country
Am   F    G  Am-G-
Grow a-wondrous high
C    F     G      C
Gardens grow, sometimes in the city
Am    F     G
Grow, but soon they die


C     F     G        C
Now I look up at the buildings of the city
         F    G      C
Their fingers are so much longer than mine
     F    G      C
I wish I had the hands of the city
         F   G        C  F C G F C G
For heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky


CHORUS:
C    F     G      C
Gardens grow, most times in the country
Am   F    G  Am-G-
Grow a-wondrous high
C    F     G      C
Gardens grow, sometimes in the city
Am    F     G
Grow, but soon they die


C     F    G      C
When I was young, I lived in the country
        F     G       C
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why
       F    G      C
Now that I've grown, I live in the city
         F   G        C
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky
         F     G        C
