The original of this song is very difficult to play, so I wrote an easier version if you 
just want the general tune.

G                       Em
I sense a runner in the garden
C                               D7
Although my judgment's known to fail
G                           Em
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
C                          D7
Cause I'd forgotten how to sail


C          D7                G
I know the runner's going to tell you
C              D7           G
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
C           D7            G
So now he's buried by the daisies
C                           D7                G
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

G                       Em
I sense a spy up in the chimney
C                          D7
From all the evidence I've burned
G                            Em
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
C                        D7
And soon to ashes I'll return

C           D7             G
I know the spy is going to tell you
C           D7             G
It's not my flag up in the pole
C           D7            G
So now he's buried by the lilies
C                       D7                 G
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

G                              Em
I sense a leak inside my phone now
C                        D7
From all the lies I have told
G                          Em
I know he has your private number
C                                D7
And soon he'll make that vicious call

C          D7                    G
I know the leak is going to tell you
C               D7             G
There ain't no puppy in your leash
C            D7            G
So now he'll fertilize the roses
C                            D7                G
So I could stay the king you see in your eyes, babe (x2)

G                                Em
So now we're dancing through the garden
C                        D7
And what a garden I have made
G                               Em
And now that death will grow my jasmine
C                      D7
I find it soothing I'm afraid

C            D7             G
Now there is no need for suspicion
C              D7                G
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
C          D7           G
I won't be lying when I tell you
C                        D7
That I'm a gardner I'm a man
             G
In your eyes babe (x2)
C           G
In your eyes babe.
