[Verse 1]
Am Am7/G Fmaj7
I was born on a Jasmine wind,
Am Am7/G Fmaj7
Where Yokohama tumbles to the Eastern Ocean,
Am
Where a quaking in the underbelly,
Am
Tore those streets apart,
Am7/G
And wrenched my daughter’s hand from me,
Fmaj7
And razed my heart to raining ash,
Am
Halfway round the world I sailed,
Am
To leave the void behind,
Am7/G Fmaj7
And mind Miss Eliot’s garden.
[Chorus]
Am
Be still, be still,
F
And clear your mind,
Am
Be still, be still,
Fmaj7
And you will find,
Fmaj7
Pleasure in the garden,
G E7
Pleasure and delight,
Fmaj7
To tend this earth,
Fmaj7
Is all that we can do,
G E7
With this life.
[Interlude]
Am A7sus2
[Verse 2]
A7sus2
I walked out,
Am7/G Fmaj7
To the red moon bridge,
Am A7sus2
Where Taki Handa carved a dream,
Am7/G Fmaj7
By Cowden castle,
Am A7sus2
Where the lotus and the water lily,
Am A7sus2
Waltz upon the lake,
Am7/G
And blazing thorns of Barbary,
Fmaj7
Salute the weeping willow,
Am A7sus2
Chery blossom rains upon,
Am A7sus2
The alabaster rose,
Am7/G F
In fair Miss Ella’s garden.
[Chorus]
Am
Be still, be still,
F
And clear your mind,
Am
Be still, be still,
Fmaj7
And you will find,
Fmaj7
Pleasure in the garden, (pleasure in the garden),
G E7
Pleasure and delight,
Fmaj7
To tend this earth,
Fmaj7
Is all that we can do,
G E7
With this life.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Am Am7/G Fmaj7
Now I lie by the old kirk wall,
Am Am7/G Fmaj7
Where the Ochil Hills surrender to the Devon valley,
Am
The dark still soil has swallowed me,
Am
Five thousand miles from home,
Am7/G
In Muckhart’s shady graveyard,
Fmaj7
Yomi claims these Kanto bones of mine,
Am
The Cloud Tree holds within it and every uncried tear,
Am7/G Fma7
In dear miss Ella’s garden.
[Chorus]
Am
Be still, be still,
F
And clear your mind,
Am
Be still, be still,
Fmaj7
And you will find,
Fmaj7
Pleasure in the garden, (pleasure in the garden),
G E7
Pleasure and delight,
Fmaj7
To tend this earth,
Fmaj7
Is all that we can do,
G E7
With this life.
[Bridge]
Am A7sus2
Am A7sus2
Am7/G Fmaj
Fmaj7
Pleasure in the garden, (pleasure in the garden),
E7
Pleasure and delight,
Fmaj7
To tend this earth,
Fmaj7
Is all that we can do,
G E7
With this life.
[Outro]

Am7/G Fmaj7
Am
Halfway round the world I sailed,
Am7/G Fmaj7
Halfway round the world I sailed,
Am
Halfway round the world I sailed,
Am7/G Fmaj7
Halfway round the world.
