JOHNNY’S GARDEN- Stephen Stills and Manassas
G5 C/G G7sus C/G G5 C/G G7sus C/G
G5 C/G G7sus C/G
There’s a place I can get to
G5 C/G G7sus C/G
Where I’m safe from the city blues
G5 C/G G7sus C/G G5
And it’s green and it’s quiet
C/G G7sus C/G
Only trouble was I had to buy it
CHORUS:
C Csus2 C6+9 Csus2 C Em Em7
And I’ll do anything I got to do
C Csus2 C6+9 Csus2 C Em
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
Em7 C Csus2 C6+9 Csus2 C Em
And keep on singin’ the blues
Em7 C riff G5 C/G G7sus C/G
If I can stay here in Johnny’s garden
As the swift bird flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then to take his breakfast
Thus I come and go and I travel
But I can watch that bird and unravel …CHORUS
With his love and his sharing
He puts his life into beauty sharing
And his children are his flowers
And they give me peace in quiet hours …CHORUS
