Intro: G  C  (4x)  G  

                              Em               D     G 
First of many flowers growing close behind the wall 
                                  Em           D     
Flax and seed, want and need, the wonder of it all 
          C             G 
There's a place in that garden 
C                      Em       C 
We've both been there, darling 
           D     C 
I won't forget 
     Cadd9  C         Am   C   D   G 
That day we met long ago____ 

  
                          Em                  D     G 
Woods of miles and acres, winding through the hills 
                                 Em           D     
Moaning of the barnyard dogs and barbed wire fences 
          C             G 
There's a place in that countryside 
       C                Em             C 
You'll build a house so deep and wide 
          D       C 
I see the stones 
      Cadd9   C                Am   C   D   G 
Fires and the thrones of long ago____ 

  
      Em 
Long ago 
C                  D            G 
Rooms of abandoned houses in my mind 
      Em 
Long ago 
C                 A7       D 
Back porch living suits me fine 
           C         ~        Am    
There were paints of blue and green 
                ~    C      D 
I was somewhere in between 

  
G                           Em        D     G 
Mama rings the dinner bell, women and men 
                                   Em            D     
Move towards the sacred sound of a chiming metal wind 
C        G 
Daddy he flips a dime 
C              Em             
How will we survive this time
