The Garden Rules
NOTE! Bb is also A#
Intro: ||: F (Pause) C (Pause) :||
VERSE 1
F
C F
There's the river, there's the house, and there's the church.
C
And there's us years ago.
F C F
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
C
Is where we hide ourselves.
PRE-CHORUS
Bb C
Yes we were just kids, but you couldn't tell us that.
Bb
These are the garden rules,
C
That's what you always said.
CHORUS
Bb
Oh, you will never know,
C
How much I love you so,
Bb
Oh, you will never know,
C
How much I love you.
VERSE 2
You would call the garden rules out like commands,
And we would all obey.
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke,
And puncture the pretend.
PRE-CHORUS
And we would chase our tails until the sun forgot to shine.
And our parents called our names,
Until just you and I were left.
CHORUS
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.
BRIDGE
F
From your house we walk the river,
C
to the church by the silent fields,
F
Amongst the lavender of headstones,
C
And the larks in our Sunday clothes.
Bb C
Your father comes to you as he's looking at his watch,
Bb C
You leave me with a kiss on my quickly heating cheek.
CHORUS
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you so.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you.
Oh you will never know,
How much I love you so,
Oh, you will never know,
How much I love you.
etc. etc. etc.

version 2
This is the acoustic part played by Gary that is repeated throughout the entire song. I
don't know if its 100% the correct way to play it, but it sounds pretty close.

Its just repeated throughout the entire son, youll have to listen to the song to get the
correct timing on it.
There's the river there's your house and there's the church
And there's us years ago
Deep in your garden where the nettle met the rose
Is where we'd hide ourselves
Yes we were just kids
But you couldn't tell us that
These are the garden rules
That's what you always said
Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you
You would call the garden rules out like commands
And we would all obey
But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke
And puncture the pretend
Then we would chase our tails
Until the sun forgot to shine
And our parents called our names
'Til just you and I were left
Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you
From your house we walk the river
To the church by the silent fields
Amongst the lavender and headstones
And the larks in our Sunday clothes
Your father calls to you
As he's looking at his watch
You leave me with a kiss
On my quickly heating cheek
Oh you'll never know how much I love you so
Oh you will never know how much I love you
