When Your Gardens Overgrown

F

[verse 1]

F
Bobby's off on holiday, Away across the sea
C
Setting up his easel, A new scene to see
F
Says that he's had enough, Of standing in the rain
C                                   Bb
Now he's looking for the good life, With European pain

[chorus]

Dm                C            Bb
Did you know your garden's overgrown
            F
And what is shown?

[verse 2]

F
Meeting all these pretty girls Singing golden hair
C
He's in touch with the painter's mind And Syd's unflinching stare
F
Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge Sipping kaffee in Berlin
C                                Bb
Might take in the colored lights In the city they call sin

[chorus]

Dm               C              Bb
He could see The writing on the wall
         F
Ten feet tall

Dm                C            Bb
Did you know your garden's overgrown
            F
And what is shown?

[bridge]

D                Dm
But oh there are times
   Bb                                    Am
He wished the world Would fade just into sight
D                         Dm
And oh, the feelings that changed
     Bb                                Am
Were thicker than the brush strokes of fame

F

[Verse 3]

F
Now he rides the dirt roads of old southern Spain
C
And when senoritas sing He can hear them say

[chorus]

Dm                C            Bb
Did you know your garden's overgrown
            F
And what is shown?

Dm               C              Bb
He could see The writing on the wall
         F
Ten feet tall
