 (G major)  (A major) Once upon a  (Asus4) time      (D major)  (Asus4)  (A major) there
G

G 
A 
G 
was a garden  (G major)  (A major)  (Asus4)  (G major)  (A major) on a high hill  (G major) 
A 
 (A major) Green and blossomin' round

against the sea  (E minor)  (G major)  (Asus4) 
A 
 (A major) And there the sun came and
the rain pourin' down
Garden grew and flourished and splattered
bits of color on the ground
And it took shape and symmetry
Asus4 
A 
and all of life around  (Asus4)  (A major) 
But there came winds
driven and howling
There came snow and I
feared for the garden
Asus4 
A 
So I built a wall  (Asus4)  (A major) and I built another and roofed
Asus4 
A 
Asus4 
 (Asus4) it over   (A major) thick and strong  (Asus4) 
A 
 (A major) And kept it from the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune
The killing cold could not get in
Asus4 
A 
But  (Asus4) when the sun  (A major) came and
the gentle rain of spring
Asus4 
A 
Asus4 
 (Asus4) They could  (A major) not reach the  (Asus4) garden
A 
 (A major) behind those walls
It would have died, safely, securely, died
Asus4 
A 
But as  (Asus4)  (A major) I  longed and as I learned I tore
Asus4 
A 
Asus4 
A 
the walls all down  (Asus4)  (A major)  (Asus4)  (A major)

A 
The garden  (Asus4)  (D major) still lives  (A major)
