Paul Weller - When Your Garden's Overgrown
From 2012 Sonik Kicks
[intro] 
F
[verse 1]
FBobby's off on holiday, Away across the sea
CSetting up his easel, A new scene to see
FSays that he's had enough, Of standing in the rain
CNow he's looking for the good life, BbWith European pain
[chorus]
DmDid you know your Cgarden's overBbgrown
And what is Fshown?
[verse 2] 
FMeeting all these pretty girls Singing golden hair
CHe's in touch with the painter's mind And Syd's unflinching stare
FDrinking wine in the Moulin Rouge Sipping kaffee in Berlin
CMight take in the colored lights BbIn the city they call sin
[chorus]
DmHe could see The Cwriting on the Bbwall
Ten feet Ftall
DmDid you know your Cgarden's overBbgrown
And what is Fshown?
[bridge]
DBut oh there are Dmtimes
He Bbwished the world Would fade just into Amsight
DAnd oh, the feelings that Dmchanged
Were Bbthicker than the brush strokes of Amfame
[Link]
F
[Verse 3]
FNow he rides the dirt roads of old southern Spain
CAnd when senoritas sing He can hear them say
[chorus]
DmDid you know your Cgarden's overBbgrown
And what is Fshown?
DmHe could see The Cwriting on the Bbwall
Ten feet Ftall
[outro]
F

Paul Weller - When Your Garden's Overgrown

From 2012 Sonik Kicks

[intro]

[verse 1]

Bobby's off on holiday, Away across the sea

Setting up his easel, A new scene to see

Says that he's had enough, Of standing in the rain

C Bb

Now he's looking for the good life, With European pain

[chorus]

Dm C Bb

Did you know your garden's overgrown

And what is shown?

[verse 2]

Meeting all these pretty girls Singing golden hair

He's in touch with the painter's mind And Syd's unflinching stare

Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge Sipping kaffee in Berlin

C Bb

Might take in the colored lights In the city they call sin

[chorus]

Dm C Bb

He could see The writing on the wall

Ten feet tall

Dm C Bb

Did you know your garden's overgrown

And what is shown?

[bridge]

D Dm

But oh there are times

Bb Am

He wished the world Would fade just into sight

D Dm

And oh, the feelings that changed

Bb Am

Were thicker than the brush strokes of fame

[Link]

[Verse 3]

Now he rides the dirt roads of old southern Spain

And when senoritas sing He can hear them say

[chorus]

Dm C Bb

Did you know your garden's overgrown

And what is shown?

Dm C Bb

He could see The writing on the wall

Ten feet tall

[outro]
