Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I sense a runner in the garden

Although my judgement's known to fail

Once built a steamboat in a meadow

Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

I know the runner's going to tell you

There ain't no cowboy in my hair

So now he's buried by the daisies

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
