"The Gardener" The Tallest Man on Earth Tabbed By Wonder96 I've seen several ways out there to play this song but it didn't seem to me any of them were completely correct. So this is how I play the song. Listen to the song to get the feel and the precise chord changes. Feel free to comment with any alterations that need to be made. Song is played with D Tuning but instead of F# it's an E (DADEAd) And capo on the 7th fret. Through out the song there are four little "ditties" he plays. Two during the verse and two during the chorus.
