"The Gardener"
The Tallest Man on Earth
Tabbed By Wonder96
I've seen several ways out there to play this song but it didn't seem to me any
of them were completely correct. So this is how I play the song. Listen to the
song to get the feel and the precise chord changes. Feel free to comment with
any alterations that need to be made.
Song is played with D Tuning but instead of F# it's an E (DADEAd) And capo on
the 7th fret.
Through out the song there are four little "ditties" he plays. Two during the
verse and two during the chorus.

VERSE1:
A E/A A6 (Ditty1)
I sense a runner in the garden
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
Although my judgements known to fail
A E/A A6 (Ditty1)
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
Cos I'd forgotten how to sail
CHORUS2:
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
I know the runner's going to tell you
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty)
There ain't no cowboy in my hat
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
So now he's buried by the daisies
D6/9 Bm11/A A
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe
VERSE2:
A E/A A6 (Ditty1)
I sense a spy up in the chimney
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
From all the evidence I've burned
A E/A A6 (Ditty1)
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
And soon to ashes I'll return
CHORUS2:
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
I know the spy is going to tell you
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty4)
It's not my flag up in the pole
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
So now he's buried by the lilies
D6/9 Bm11/A A
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe
VERSE3:
A E/A A6 (Ditty1)
I sense a leak inside my phone now
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
From all the lies I have told
A E/A A6 (Ditty1)
I know he has your private number
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
And soon he'll make that vicious call
CHORUS3:
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
I know the leak is going to tell you
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty4)
There ain't no puppy in your leash
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
So now he'll fertilize the roses
D6/9 Bm11/A
So I could stay the king you see
A E/A A E/A A6
In your eyes, babe
A(Alt)
In your eyes babe
A(Alt)
VERSE4:(slower)
Amaj7 A6
So now we're dancing through the garden
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
And what a garden I have made
A(Alt) Amaj7 A6 (Ditty1)
And now that death will grow my jasmine
Dsus2 Bm11/A (Ditty2)
I find it soothing I'm afraid
CHORUS4:
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
Now there is no need for suspicion
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty4)
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
D6/9 Bm11/A A (Ditty3)
I won't be lying when I tell you
D6/9 Bm11/A
That I'm a gardner I'm a man
A E/A A6
In your eyes babe
A E/A A6
In your eyes babe
Dsus2
In your eyes babe
