Secret Gardens
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Intro]
Am G Am Em Dm C F G
[Verse 1]
C Am
My grandmother's house is still there
Em
But it isn't the same
C F
A plain wooden cottage
Dm G
A patch of brown lawn
Dm Am
And a fence that hangs standing
F C G
And sighing in the Seattle rain
[Verse 2]
C Am
I drive by with strangers
Em
And wish they could see what I see
C F
A tangle of summer birds
Dm G
Flying in sunlight
Dm Am
A forest of lilies
F C G
An orchard of apricot trees
[Chorus]
F Dm F C
Secret Gardens of the heart
F Dm C
Where the flowers bloom forever
F Dm F C
I see you shining through the night
F Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter
[Verse 3]
C Am
Great grandfather's farm is still there
Em
But it isn't the same
C F
The barn is torn down
Dm G
And the fences are gone
Dm Am
The Idaho wind blows
F C G
The topsoil away every Spring
[Verse 4]
C Am
I still see the ghosts
Em
Of the people I knew long ago
C F
Inside the old kitchen
Dm G
They bend and sigh
Dm Am
My life passed them up
F C G
And the world passed them by
[Chorus]
F Dm F C
Secret Gardens of the heart
F Dm C
Where the old stay young forever
F Dm F C
I see you shining through the night
F Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter
[Verse 5]
C Am
But most of all it is me that has changed
Em
And yet I'm still the same
C F
That's me at the weddings
Dm G
That's me at the graves
Dm Am
Dressed like the people
F C G
Who once looked so grown-up and brave
[Verse 6]
C Am
I look in the mirror through the eyes
Em
Of the child that was me
C F
I see willows bending
Dm G
The season is Spring
Dm Am
And the silver blue sailing birds
F C G
Fly with the sun on their wings
[Chorus]
F Dm F C
Secret Gardens of the heart
F Dm C
Where dreams live on forever
F Dm F C
I see you shining through the night
F Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter
