There Is A Vine

Capo on 3rd

There is a vine growing on my garden wall,
           G                           C 
and it is brown and withered in the fall,
            F                                 C               Am 
and in the spring its leaves are green and blossoms all aflame,
                F                 G                C 
but, spring or fall, still I love you just the same.


            C      F                 G        C 
There is a gate halfway down my garden wall,
            G                            C 
and in the night I lock it, bolts and all,
            F                           C                Am 
and in the day it's open wide to all who would come through,
             F        G                        C 
but, day or night, it is never locked for you.


            C      F               G        C 
There is a tree growing by my garden gate
             G                            C 
and year by year it seems to stand and wait,
             F                         C              Am 
and here am I beneath the tree, for I am waiting too,
             F        G                        C 
and, oh, my love, I will always wait for you.
