The Garden

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

The Garden
By George Jones 3/ time

C F
She planted roses the first year we married
C G7
It soon was a garden we'd go walking through
C F
My job kept me traveling but when I came home to heaven
C G7 C
She was so proud to show me all the love that she grew

F
I heard her talking one day to an old friend
C G7
She said I don't want to hurt him but it's out of control
C F C
I feel so guilty cause he'll be so helpless
G7 C
He won't understand why I've just got to go

Now I come to the garden alone
F C
All my reasons I once had for living are gone
E7 F
Sometimes when I feel like I just
D7 C G7 C
Can't go on I come to the garden alone

F
No one can imagine just how much I miss her
C G7
I'd give up this whole world to once more hold her near
C F
It's just beyond me why God took her from me
C G7 C
I bet the flowers in heaven are looking better this year

Now I come to the garden alone
F C
Where the dew kissed the roses where weeds now have grown
E7 F
Sometimes when I feel like I just
D7 C G7 C
Can't go on I come to the garden alone
