Intro: 
B F# G#m E 
B F# F# B 
(play twice) 
 
B	      F#	   G#m	   E 
On the fourth floor of the building 
B	 F#	   E	E 
In a shallow window box 
      B		     F#		 G#m	    E 
She's diggin' in the soil with a silver spoon 
    B	    G#m		F#	F# 
Her hands inside of her gloves 
B	 F#    G#m	  E 
Plantin' seed, pullin' up weed 
    B	     F#		E	E 
The cycle of life is complete 
B	       F#		G#m	E 
Who would have thought it, in a city of stone 
B	    F#	      B 
Four floors above the street 
 
B F# G#m E 
B F# F# B 
 
B	      F#	   G#m		E 
I cannot tell what kind of flowers they are 
    B	      F#	 E	E 
I'm too far below on the street 
	B	    F#		G#m	   E 
But the colour they add to the building so drab 
	B		G#m	 F# 
Bring a warm splash of welcome relief 
	  B		 F#	       G#m	    E 
Yeah it's somethin' worthwhile for the sun to shine on 
  B	    F#	    E 
A reason to radiate heat 
	  B	       F#	     G#m	E 
Well that small window box it puts a skip in my feet 
B	      F#	 B 
Four floors below on the street 
 
B F# G#m E 
B F# F# B 
 
B	  F#		G#	      E 
For every good seed she plants in the soil 
	  B	    F#	       E 
There's a dozen bad waiting to grow 
   B		F#	       G#m	 E 
To strangle the goodness she's trying to nurture 
    B		 G#m		 F# 
And kill all the seed that she's sown 
B    F#	      G#m	E 
Everytime you water the garden 
    B	 F#	   E 
You also water the weeds 
   B	      F#	    G#m		E 
Profound ministration(?) of sin and temptation 
B	    F#	      B 
Four floors above the street 
 
(solos) 
 
B	    F#		G#m	     E 
Some people don't understand why she does it 
B	    F#		E 
Some people look for a reason 
B	  F#		 G#m	     E 
Maybe she just likes the feel of the soil 
    B		G#m	     F# 
Or, keepin' in tune with the seasons 
B	  F#	      G#m	  E 
Maybe she has so much pride in herself 
       B	   F#	    E 
Got to keep it all visually pleasing 
B	  F#	    G#m		E 
Small paradise in a world of concrete 
B	    F#	      B 
Four floors above the street 
B	  F#	    G#m		E 
Small paradise in a world of concrete 
B	  F#	    G#m		E 
Small paradise in a world of concrete 
B	  F#	    G#m		E 
Small paradise in a world of concrete 
B	    F#		B 
Four floors Ay-bove the street 
 
B F# F# B
