[Verse]
And they sEeem to know each oBther very wF#ell
They Espeak across the gaBrden and G#mnot a sF#oul could BtelEl
They can Eread the summer sF#ky and they can Bhear the back brook sEwell
And they sEeem to know each oBther vF#ery wBell
And they drEive up north on suBnday afterF#noons
And he Ebuys her wooden wiBndmills and wG#mhales and F#quarter mBoonsE  
She fEeeds the birds all wF#inter and she kBnows them by their tEunes
And they dErive up north on sBunday aF#fternooBns
[Chorus] 
And G#mall sF#mummer lBong, they C#mmake the Bgarden F#grow
BKeep the F#green so sEtrong
G#mOh, wF#mish them wBell, for sC#mtanding Bon their F#own
[Verse]
And they Eburied their old dBog in their F#backyard
With a fEence and plastic roBses And St. G#mFrancis F#standing BguaErd
She spEeaks of him quite F#often to this dBay she takes it hEard
And they bEuried their old dBog in tF#heir Bbackyard
She bErings me plants and fBlowers all the tF#ime
And we dEig the holes togetBher she G#mhas to F#help with BminEe
When she Epats the soil arF#ound them oh my gBod, her eyes can shiEne
She brEings me plants and flBowers aF#ll the Btime
[Chorus] 
And G#mall sF#mummer lBong, they C#mmake the Bgarden F#grow
BKeep the F#green so sEtrong
G#mOh, wF#mish them wBell, for sC#mtanding Bon their F#own
[Verse]
And they sEpeak about their lBives as almF#ost gone
WaEiting for the sunseBt from an G#mold and dF#istant BdawEn
ESelling off the lF#and except the pBart they're livinEg on
And they Espeak of their lBives as alF#most Bgone
And they sEeem to know each oBther very wF#ell
They Espeak across the gaBrden and G#mnot a sF#oul could BtelEl
They can Eread the summer sF#ky and they can Bhear the back brook sEwell
And they sEeem to know each oBther vF#ery wBell

[Verse]

E B F#

And they seem to know each other very well

E B G#m F# B E

They speak across the garden and not a soul could tell

E F# B E

They can read the summer sky and they can hear the back brook swell

E B F# B

And they seem to know each other very well

E B F#

And they drive up north on sunday afternoons

E B G#m F# B E

And he buys her wooden windmills and whales and quarter moons

E F# B E

She feeds the birds all winter and she knows them by their tunes

E B F# B

And they drive up north on sunday afternoons

[Chorus]

G#m F#m B C#m B F#

And all summer long, they make the garden grow

B F# E

Keep the green so strong

G#m F#m B C#m B F#

Oh, wish them well, for standing on their own

[Verse]

E B F#

And they buried their old dog in their backyard

E B G#m F# B E

With a fence and plastic roses And St. Francis standing guard

E F# B E

She speaks of him quite often to this day she takes it hard

E B F# B

And they buried their old dog in their backyard

E B F#

She brings me plants and flowers all the time

E B G#m F# B E

And we dig the holes together she has to help with mine

E F# B E

When she pats the soil around them oh my god, her eyes can shine

E B F# B

She brings me plants and flowers all the time

[Chorus]

G#m F#m B C#m B F#

And all summer long, they make the garden grow

B F# E

Keep the green so strong

G#m F#m B C#m B F#

Oh, wish them well, for standing on their own

[Verse]

E B F#

And they speak about their lives as almost gone

E B G#m F# B E

Waiting for the sunset from an old and distant dawn

E F# B E

Selling off the land except the part they're living on

E B F# B

And they speak of their lives as almost gone

E B F#

And they seem to know each other very well

E B G#m F# B E

They speak across the garden and not a soul could tell

E F# B E

They can read the summer sky and they can hear the back brook swell

E B F# B

And they seem to know each other very well
