[Verse]
C
The family garden is a special place
Em
In sun and shade there, I was raised
C F
But voices fade away and rooms are rearranged
C Bb Gm C
Now I'm the family gardener
[Verse]
You need a stethoscope and a good good rake
Em
Some beer for snails and a rope for snakes
C Cm Dm F
A flowerbed to fall in as the moonlight breaks
C Bb C
When you're the family gardener
Em F
And I'm the family gardener
[Bridge]
C
As I look down with my two eyes and my two green thumbs
Am Ab
I despise the people who walk on the green green grass
C D
I grew with my watered love
[Instrumental]
G Bb C
[Verse]
Now some other son sleeps in the southern wing
Bm Em C
And someone else's mother sits to paint the pastoral scene
Dm F
My father always said that I would never amount to anything
C Bb C
But I'm the family gardener
Ab Am
I'm the family gardener
F C G C
I'm the family gardener
