Chords

Word and Music by James Taylor, from his 1997 album, "Hourglass." [Intro] D [Chorus]
Bm              A/C#  D        G
We were walking in    paradise,

       A  Bm
Never did notice.

    A/C#     D            G       F2
Blind in the Buddha land, looking for solace

D      A/C#    Bm
We had been told of a place,

   Em7               A
Far beyond this vale of tears

Em7                   A
We could never have guessed,

Em7                A
We were already blessed

             Bm
There we were,

         A   G2   F2
Where we are

          D9
In the garden
[Verse 1]
Bm              A/C# D       G
Didn't we climb on up Er Mei,

A         Bm
Temple to temple?

       A/C#       D               G2
Yes and all and all along the way,

       F2
The day was simple

Em7    A/C#    Bm
Didn't we reach the top,

Em7                  A
Didn't we gain our goal?

Em7            A             Bm A G2        F2
Did we finally stop, surprised  by   the cold?
[Chorus]
Bm              A/C#  D        G
We were walking in    paradise,

       A  Bm
Never did tumble.

    A/C#     D            G       F2
Blind in the Buddha land, looking for trouble

D      A/C#    Bm
We had been told of a place

   Em7               A
Far beyond this vale of tears

Em7                   A
We could never have guessed,

Em7                A
We were already blessed

             Bm
There we were,

         A   G2   F2
Where we are,

          D9
In the garden,

          D
In the garden
[Outro] D G A D Bm A G D Em7 G A E/A A G A Bm Em7 A Em7 A Em7 A D E/D D A G2 F2 C/F D2
