As a preface to this, I would like to say that you should definitely go read
the existing open D tab for this, if you're at all familiar with the tuning.
Not the open Dsus2 tabs that exist, which are all for live versions. The one
Here's a somewhat easy standard tuning version to this song. If you want to
play in the song's original key (album version) of G#, you'd have to capo it
at the eighth fret, which may be a little high.
Chords used:
Cmaj7 ----- X32410 (or, if that's too hard, X32000)
Since it's Tallest Man, you'll probably have to get the rhythm
So, here's how it goes:
(Intro)
(Followed by)
I sense a runner in the garden
Although my judgement's known to fail
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
'Cause I'd forgotten how to sail
I know the runner's gone to tell you
(I do this little figure)
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
So now he's buried by the daisies
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
I sense a spy up in the chimney
From all the evidence I've burned
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I'll return
I know the spy is going to tell you
It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call
I know the leak is going to tell you
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses
So I could stay the king you see
In your eyes, babe
In your eyes, babe
So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
And now that death will grow my jasmine
I find it soothing I'm afraid
Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you
That I'm a Gardner I'm a man
In your eyes babe
In your eyes babe
In your eyes babe
