The Gardener Tab par The Tallest Man On Earth

The song is originally in open D tuning, capoed on 6. My version is in standard tuning, in the key of C (as if it were capoed on 11). It should be fairly easy to transpose into the key you'd like from here.

I sense a runner in the garden

Although my judgements known to fail

Once built a steamboat in a meadow

F                                            G7  G6
Cos I'd forgotten how to sail



F                   G7                          C            Riff
I know the runner's going to tell you 

F                        G7                      C 
There ain't no cowboy in my hair

F                       G7                   C         Riff
So now he's buried by the daisies

F                                             G7
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 

F    G7              C
In your eyes, babe (x2)

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

F     G7           Am/G
In your eyes babe
