CAPO: 2nd Fret
[C]When I was [F]young, I [G]lived in the [C]country
Clouds were my [F]friends, I [G]cannot answer [C]why
Now that I've [F]grown, I [G]live in the [C]city
And heaven is so [F]far, I [G]cannot reach the [C]sky
I once met a [F]man, who [G]lived in the [C]city
The stone was his [F]home, he [G]said his heart was [C]mine
He led me far a[F]way, when he [G]told me I was [C]pretty
How strange to go so [F]far and [G]never touch the [C]sky[F][C][G][F][C][G]
CHORUS:
[C]Gardens [F]grow, most [G]times in the [C]country
[Am]Grow a-[F]wondrous [G]high[Am-G-]
[C]Gardens [F]grow, some[G]times in the [C]city
[Am]Grow, but [F]soon they [G]die
[C]Now I look [F]up at the [G]buildings of the [C]city
Their fingers are [F]so much [G]longer than [C]mine
I wish I [F]had the [G]hands of the [C]city
For heaven is so [F]far, I [G]cannot reach the [C]sky[F][C][G][F][C][G]
