               E               D
You’ve been a fool and so have I

     A              E
But come and be my wife

For so our master said

              G#                F#
But now I’ll teach my hands to bake

     C#            G#    Cm
Our loaf of daily bread

Those Edens can’t be found

The sweetest flowers, the fairest trees

Are grown in solid ground

       Am      Em       Am       Em
We’re neither pure nor wise nor good

And make our gar-den  grow!
