C                Em                 Fmaj7   G 
The fields are always wet with rain 
                     C   Em 
After a summer shower  
       Fmaj7            G 
when I saw you standin' 
                C         Em 
Standin' in the garden,  
       Fmaj7  G              C  F  C  G 
in the garden wet with rain 


C                Em                      Fmaj7       G 
   You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow 
C                   Em           Fmaj7               G 
   As we watched the petals fall down to the ground 
C           Em               Fmaj7                       G 
   And as I sat beside you I felt the great sadness that day  
       C      F  C  G 
In the garden 


C              Em                Fmaj7            G                  C     Em 
  And then one day you came back home, you were a creature all in rapture 
            Fmaj7            G 
You had the key to your soul 
            C     Em       Fmaj7        G 
And you did open,     that day you came back,  
       C      F  C  G 
to the garden 


C           Em                       Fmaj7               G 
  The olden summer breeze was blowin' against your face 
C              Em                      Fmaj7         G 
  The light of old was shinin' on your countenance divine 
C     Em                       Fmaj7                  G 
  And you were a violet colour as you sat beside your father and your mother  
       C      F  C  G  |  C  Em  Fmaj7 
In the garden 


           G                          C 
The summer breeze was blowin' on your face 
Em                       Fmaj7                 G 
  Within your violet you treasure your summery words 
C           Em                       Fmaj7          G 
  And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine ignited me  
      C         F             C      G 
In daylight and nature in the garden 


C         Em              Fmaj7    G                          C      Em 
  And you went into a trance. Your childlike vision became so fine 
       Fmaj7                      G 
And we heard the bells within the church  
C             Em                Fmaj7                   G               C 
  we loved so much and felt the presence of the youth of eternal summers  
       F       C  G 
In the garden 


C     Em                       Fmaj7       G 
  And as it touched your cheeks so lightly, born again 
         C                 Em                  Fmaj7    G 
you were and blushed and we touched each other lightly 
C                 Em                    Fmaj7      G  
  And we felt the presence of the Christ within our hearts 
       C      F  C  G 
In the garden.        And I turned to you and I said 


C    Em       Fmaj7        G 
  No Guru,      no method,  
C            Em                  Fmaj7   G 
  no teacher. Just you and I and nature, and the father,  
       C      F  C  G 
In the garden 

C          Em           Fmaj7        G                   C 
  No Guru,  no method,   no teacher.  Just you and I and nature 
Em         Fmaj7          G           C           Em 
   And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost,   
       Fmaj7    G 
in the garden  
         C      F  C  G 
wet with rain 


C          Em           Fmaj7        G                   C 
  No Guru,  no method,   no teacher.  Just you and I and nature 
Em         Fmaj7          G           C           Em 
   And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost,   
       Fmaj7          G 
in the garden, in the garden  
         C      F  C  G 
wet with rain 


C    Em       Fmaj7        G 
  No Guru,      no method,  
C            Em                  Fmaj7   G 
  no teacher. Just you and I and nature, and the father,  
       C      F  C  G 
In the garden
