"EDEN WAS A GARDEN" by Roman Candle CCCCsus2 C Am7 There's a pine warbler sitting on a hollow limb Em F he seems to have the whole morning out right in front of him C Am7 and everything he sings from the branch that he's sitting on Fmaj7 F seems to hush the leaves and the colors all around C G First he sings and then he goes. C G and what it means? It's hard to know. CCCCsus2 CCCCsus2 C Am7 Baby works down right off of Barbur Blvd Em F Writes down everything on the back of a business card C Am7 everything she writes will turn into a song or two Fmaj7 F she puts it on the stage and all goes still C G now if she sings a forest clear C G she puts a tree right in your ear. F C Now why can't you stay with me? F C E7 F Why don't you tell me it cause it makes a fool of me F C Well Eden was a garden you know D D the birds were in the trees until the place was gone D D they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on CCCCsus2 C Am7 Just the other night the clocks were moving awful slow Em F I heard a woman's voice coming up from the street below C Am7 I got up from my bed that song was so enrapturing Fmaj F and found my real to reel just to see if I could capture - C G C by the time i turned it on, and turned an ear G that voice was gone. F C Now why can't it stay with me? F C E7 F Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me F C Well Eden was a garden you know D D the birds were in the trees until the place was gone D D they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on F C Now why can't it stay with me? F C E7 F Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me F C Well Eden was a garden you know D D the birds were in the trees until the place was gone D D they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on C Csus2 C Csus2 x2 AmE7FmaCsus2 3 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 2 1 2 0 2 0 3 3 0 2 0 3 0 0 0 0
