[Intro]
Gm Dm Gm Dm
[Verse 1]
Gm Dm I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane Cm G And though we shared a common space I know I'll never meet again Gm Dm The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror Cm G I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer Gm I asked him would he hurry D But we crawled the canyons slowly Dm Through the buyers and the sellers C G C Through the burglar bells and the wishing wells Gm Bb D7 With gangs and girly shows Gm The ghostly garden grows
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm The cars and buses bustled thru the bedlam of the day Cm G I looked through window-glass at streets and Nathan grumbled at the grey Gm Dm I saw an aging cripple selling Superman balloons Cm The city grated through chrome-plate G The clock struck slowly half-past-noon Gm Through the tunnel tiled and turning D Dm Into daylight once again I am escaping
Once again goodbye
C G C To symphonies and dirty trees Gm Bb D7 With parks and plastic clothes Gm The ghostly garden grows
[Verse 3]
Gm He asked me for a dollar more Dm He cursed me to my face Cm He hated everyone who paid to ride G And share his common space Gm I picked my bags up from the curb Dm And stumbled to the door Cm Another man reached out his hand G Another hand reached out for more Gm And I filled it full of silver D And I left the fingers counting Dm And the sky goes on forever C G C Without meter maids and peace parades Gm Bb D7 You feed it all your woes Gm The ghostly garden grows Gm Bb D7 You feed it all your woes Gm The ghostly garden grows
