CHORUS
You [C]lived in a rich man’s [G]garden
fairest [D]flower of all that [G]grew
in a [C]world I had no [G]part of 
where no harm could fall on [D]you
and I [G]never got to know you 
for you [C]never looked my [G]way
so I [C]left you in that [G]garden
and I [D]sadly walked a[G]way

On  [G]  that day when first saw you   
 How my  [C]  young heart filled with  [G]  joy
you were  [C]  picking sweet Paim -[G]- roses
when I   chanced to pass you  [D]  by
I  [G]  felt some strange thing happen 
And I  [C] felt  something had  [G]  changed
some -[C]- how I knew  [G]  because of you 
I’d  [D]  never  [D7] be the  [G]  same.
. 

You [G]father he had riches
with [C]nothing left to [G]crave
a [C]lord of all the [G]people
with a soul cold as the [D]grave
and I [G]knew he’s give no quarter
to [C]one as poor as [G]me
so I [c]left you in that [G]garden
where I [D]knew my heart to [G]be.

CHORUS
You [C]lived in a rich man’s [G]garden
fairest [D]flower of all that [G]grew
in a [C]world I had no [G]part of 
where no harm could fall on [D]you
and I [G]never got to know you 
for you [C]never looked my [G]way
so I [C]left you in that [G]garden
and I [D]sadly walked a[G]way

[G]Now the years have slipped behind me
and my [C]hair has turned to [G]grey
I still [C]see you in that [G]garden
on that far off summer [D]day
you [G]were six and I was seven
without a [C]jacket to my name
how I [C]loved you in that [G]garden
but you [D]never spoke my [G]name.

CHORUS
You [C]lived in a rich man’s [G]garden
fairest [D]flower of all that [G]grew
in a [C]world I had no [G]part of 
where no harm could fall on [D]you
and I [G]never got to know you 
for you [C]never looked my [G]way
so I [C]left you in that [G]garden
and I [D]sadly walked a[G]way.
