Bb5                       Bb5          G5
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
    Eb5                       F5
Oh nurturing years of so long


Bb5              Bb5         G5
When I was a boy I planted a garden, yeah
       Eb5               D5
That means so much to me
Eb5             F5 
One of reality 
Bb5              Bb5         G5
A garden of love none like this before 
          Eb5          D5
One of a kind equality
     Eb5                F5
A prayer for you and me wo...


Bb5                       Bb5          G5
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
    Eb5                       F5
Oh nurturing years of so long
Bb5                       Bb5          G5
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
            Eb5                     F5
They say a stranger treated them wrong


Bb5            Bb5         G5
If we can keep the candles burning
       Eb5              D5       Eb5              F5
To shelter them from pain and let them live again
Bb5              Bb5         G5
Shower the world with their innocence
         Eb5             D5        Eb5               F5
Who's tears felt like rain, history remains the same wo...


G5                            Eb5
But one by one they come up missing
G5                             Eb5
Strangers thought that I was sleeping 
G5                             Eb5
Some life, some life means nothing to some people
G5                   Eb5                F5
Wacht out now we've got them on the run


Bb5                       Bb5          G5
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
    Eb5                       F5
Oh nurturing years of so long
Bb5                       Bb5          G5
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
            Eb5                     F5
