Capo 1

Keeping It simple !
 
 
[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.
