G
[Verse]
C
When the sun goes down and the heat stays on
Em
The young men fight and carry on
D
It's just a way of life down here in The Gardens
[Verse]
G C
This side's mine and that side's yours
Em
You can't walk here and break the rules
D G
The rules we all know down here in The Gardens
[Chorus]
C
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend
Em
With the windows barred and the kids locked in
G D
One more night to make your life slowly harden
C
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend
Em
Where mommas cry and daddies say
D G
"One more night down here in The Gardens"
[Verse]
C
When the boys drive through and the bullets fly
C
The baby plays and waits to die
Em D
The daddy breaks down and cries in The Gardens
[Verse]
G
He can't have her back and he knows too well
C
'Cause he's just dying on the hill
Em D G
In this quiet little town called The Gardens
[Chorus]
C
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend
Em
With the windows barred and the kids locked in
G D
One more night to make your life slowly harden
C
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend
Em
Where mommas cry and daddies say
D G
"One more night down here in The Gardens"
[Instrumental]
C Em G D Em
[Chorus]
C
I guess it's one more night that we have to spend
Em
With the windows barred and the kids locked in
G D G
One more night down here in The Gardens
Em D G C G
In this quiet little town we call The Gardens
