    The Tallest Man On Earth

Tabbed by: Rigoletto 

** I think his guitar is tuned in open D, with a capo somewhere. 
This tab is in standard tuning, with a capo on the 1st fret. **
** Odd verses go G5 E5 C5 D5 , even verses go C5 D5 G. **

G5                       E5      C5
  I sense a runner in the garden
                                 D5
  Although my judgement's known to fail
G5                              E5    C5 
  Once built a steamboat in a meadow
                          D5
  Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

C5             D5                 G5
   I know the runner's going to tell you
C5             D5                 G5
   There ain't no cowboy in my hair
C5             D5                 G5
   So now he's buried by the daisies
C5                              D5                 G5
   So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

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

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

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

I know the leak is going to tell you
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses
So I could stay the king you see

In your eyes, babe 
In your eyes, babe 

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

Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you
That I'm a gardner I'm a man

In your eyes, babe 
In your eyes, babe 
In your eyes, babe

** Great song. **
