C          F        G            C
When I was young, I lived in the country
               F          G             C
Clouds were my friends, I cannot answer why
              F        G           C
Now that I've grown, I live in the city
                 F      G                C
And heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky
 
 
             F        G            C
I once met a man, who lived in the city
                  F        G                  C
The stone was his home, he said his heart was mine
               F            G             C
He led me far away, when he told me I was pretty
                     F       G               C   F C G F C G
How strange to go so far and never touch the sky
 
 
CHORUS:
C       F          G            C
Gardens grow, most times in the country
Am     F        G    Am-G-
Grow a-wondrous high
C       F         G            C
Gardens grow, sometimes in the city
Am        F         G
Grow, but soon they die
 
 
C          F         G                C
Now I look up at the buildings of the city
                  F       G           C
Their fingers are so much longer than mine
         F       G            C
I wish I had the hands of the city
                 F      G                C   F C G F C G
For heaven is so far, I cannot reach the sky
 
 
CHORUS:
C       F          G            C
Gardens grow, most times in the country
Am     F        G    Am-G-
Grow a-wondrous high
C       F         G            C
Gardens grow, sometimes in the city
Am        F         G
Grow, but soon they die
 
 
C          F        G            C
When I was young, I lived in the country

                 F         G               C
And heaven is so far, I'll never touch the sky
