Rich Man's Garden by Johnny McEvoy
Rich Man's Garden
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
[Verse]
G
On that day when first I saw you
C G
How my young heart filled with joy
C G
You were picking sweet primroses
D
when I chanced to pass you by
G
I felt some strange thing happen
C G
And I felt something had changed
C G
Somehow I knew because of you
D G
I’d never be the same.
[Chorus]
C G
You lived in a rich mans garden
D G
fairest flower of all that grew
C G
In a world I had no part of
D
where no harm could fall on you
G
And I never got to know you
C G
for you never looked my way
C G
So I left you in that garden
D G
and I sadly walked away
[Verse]
G
You father he had riches
C G
with nothing left to crave
C G
a lord of all the people
D
with a soul cold as the grave
G
and I knew he’s give no quarter
C G
to one as poor as me
C G
so I left you in that garden
D G
where I knew my heart to be
[Chorus]
C G
You lived in a rich man’s garden
D G
fairest flower of all that grew
C G
In a world I had no part of
D
where no harm could fall on you
G
And I never got to know you
C G
for you never looked my way
C G
So I left you in that garden
D G
and I sadly walked a way
[Verse]
G
Now the years have slipped behind me
C G
and my hair has turned to grey
C G
I still see you in that garden
D
on that far off summer day
G
You were six and I was seven
C
without a jacket to my name
C G
How I loved you in that garden
D G
but you never spoke my name
[Chorus]
C G
You lived in a rich man’s garden
D G
fairest flower of all that grew
C G
In a world I had no part of
D
where no harm could fall on you
G
And I never got to know you
C G
for you never looked my way
C G
So I left you in that garden
D G
and I sadly walked away.
