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.
