"The Gardener" The Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Grave (2008) Tabbed by Dylan Williams send questions or comments to dilenamountoo@hotmail.com As a preface to this, I would like to say that you should definitely go read the existing open D tab for this, if you're at all familiar with the tuning. Not the open Dsus2 tabs that exist, which are all for live versions. The one open D tab that is filed as a "Chords" tab. Seriously, it's awesome. Here's a somewhat easy standard tuning version to this song. If you want to play in the song's original key (album version) of G#, you'd have to capo it at the eighth fret, which may be a little high. Chords used: C --------- X32010 Cmaj7 ----- X32410 (or, if that's too hard, X32000) Am -------- X02210 Am7 ------- X02010 F --------- 133211 G7 -------- 320001 G6 -------- 320000 Since it's Tallest Man, you'll probably have to get the rhythm So, here's how it goes: (Intro) e -----------------| B -----------------| G --0-0-0--0-0-----| D --2-2-2--2-0-----|X2 A --3-3-3--3-3-----| E -----------------| [Followed by] C F C F C Cmaj7 Am Am7 I sense a runner in the garden F G7 G6 Although my judgement's known to fail C Cmaj7 Am Am7 Once built a steamboat in a meadow F G7 G6 'Cause I'd forgotten how to sail F G7 C I know the runner's gone to tell you [I do this little figure] e -----------------| B --1-1-1--1-1-----| G --2-2-2--4-2-----| D --x-x-x--x-x-----|X2 A --3-3-3--3-3-----| E -----------------| F G7 C There ain't no cowboy in my hair F G7 C So now he's buried by the daisies F G7 C 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
