"EDEN WAS A GARDEN" by Roman Candle
{INTRO-acoustic only}
C Csus2 C Csus2
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.
{all in}

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
{acoustic only}

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 -
{drum builds}
C G C
by the time i turned it on, and turned an ear
G
that voice was gone.
