B             F#           G#m     E
On the fourth floor of the building
B        F#        E    E
In a shallow window box
      B              F#          
She's diggin' in the soil with a 
G#m        E
silver spoon
    B       G#m         F#      F#
Her hands inside of her gloves
B        F#    G#m        E
Plantin' seed, pullin' up weed
    B        F#         E       E
The cycle of life is complete
B              F#               
Who would have thought it, in a 
G#m     E
city of stone
B           F#        B
Four floors above the street

B             F#           G#m  
I cannot tell what kind of 
        E
flowers they are
    B         F#         E      E
I'm too far below on the street
        B           F#       
But the colour they add to the 
   G#m        E
building so drab

        B               G#m  
Bring a warm splash of welcome 
    F#
relief
          B              F#       
Yeah it's somethin' worthwhile for
     G#m          E
 the sun to shine on
  B         F#      E
A reason to radiate heat
          B            F#         
Well that small window box it puts
   G#m        E
 a skip in my feet
B             F#         B
Four floors below on the street

B         F#            G#      
For every good seed she plants 
      E
in the soil
          B         F#         E
There's a dozen bad waiting to grow
   B            F#             
To strangle the goodness she's 
G#m       E
trying to nurture
    B            G#m             
And kill all the seed that she's 
F#
sown
B    F#       G#m       E
Everytime you water the garden
    B    F#        E
You also water the weeds
   B          F#            G#m  
Profound ministration(?) of sin 
       E
and temptation
B           F#        B
Four floors above the street

B           F#          G#m     
Some people don't understand why
     E
 she does it
B           F#          E
Some people look for a reason
B         F#             G#m    
Maybe she just likes the feel of
     E
 the soil
    B           G#m          F#
Or, keepin' in tune with the seasons
B         F#          G#m  
Maybe she has so much pride in 
       E
herself
       B           F#       E
Got to keep it all visually pleasing
B         F#        G#m  
Small paradise in a world of 
       E
concrete
