           G5  C5 G5      C5
There's a place  I can get to
           G5  C5       G5     C5
Where I'm safe  from the city blues
          G5  C5        G5  C5 G5
And it's green  and it's quiet
 C5                  G5      C5
Only trouble was I had to buy it

CHORUS:
             C5      C5 C6+9 C5 C5 E5 E5
And I'll do anything  I   got  to     do
C5      C5 C6+9 C5 C5 E5
Cut my   hair       and  shine my shoes
E5  C5      C5 C6+9 C5 C5 E5
And keep on   singin'   the  blues
 E5      C5      riff               G5   C5 G5 C5
If I can stay here     in Johnny's garden

As the swift bird flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then to take his breakfast
Thus I come and go and I travel
But I can watch that bird and unravel ...CHORUS

With his love and his sharing
He puts his life into beauty sharing
And his children are his flowers
And they give me peace in quiet hours ...CHORUS
