Chords

As recorded by The Byrds (From the 1967 Album YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY) * hit once and let ring [Intro] A* [Verse 1]
A*         A*    A*           A*    A* A7*        A7*
 Once upon a time there was a garden   on a high hill

          A7
Green and bluffin' 'round against the sea

A7
And there the sun came

A7
And the rain pourin' down

A7
Garden grew and flourished

A7
And splattered bits of color on the ground

A7
And it took shape and symmetry and all of life around
[Verse 2]
A7
But there came winds, driven and howling

A7
There came snow and I feared for the garden

A7
So I built a wall and I built another

A7
And roofed it over thick and strong

A7
And kept it from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

A7
The killing cold could not get in
[Verse 3]
A7
But when the sun came

A7
And the gentle rain of spring

A7
They could not reach the garden behind those walls

A7
It would have died

A7
Safely, securely, died

A7
But as I longed and as I learned

A7
I tore the walls all down

A7                      A9    A7
The garden still lives

    A
The garden lives
