G C G7 C
G C G7 C
[Verse 1]
G C
There's a place
G7 C
I can get to
G C
Where I'm safe
G7 C
From the city blues
G C
And its green
G7 C
And its quiet
G C
Only trouble was
G7 C
I had to buy it
[Chorus]
C Em
And I'll do anything I got to do
C Em
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
C Em
And keep on singin' the blues
C
If I can stay here
G C G7 C
in Johnny's garden
[Interlude]
G C G7 C
[Verse 2]
G C
As the swift bird
G7 C
Flies over the grasses
G C
Dipping now and then
G7 C
To take his breakfast
G C
Thus I come and go
G7 C
And I travel
G C
But I can watch that bird
G7 C
And unravel
[Chorus]
C Em
And I'll do anything I got to do
C Em
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
C Em
And keep on singin' the blues
C
If I can stay here
G C G7 C
in Johnny's garden
[Interlude]
G C G7 C
[Verse 3]
G C
With his love
G7 C
And his carin'
G C
He puts his life
G7 C
Into beauty sharin'
G C
And his children
G7 C
Are his flowers
G C G7 C
And they give me peace in quiet hours
[Chorus]
C Em
And I'll do anything I got to do
C Em
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
C Em
And keep on singin' the blues
C
If I can stay here
G C G7 C
in Johnny's garden
[Outro]
