[Verse 1]
C7You know you're all alone
Your C6friends, they aren't at home
EvCerybody's gone to C7the garden
C7As you look into the trees
You can lC6ook, but you don't see
FlCowers seem to tease you at the C7garden
C7Everybody's there
But you dC6on't seem to care
WhCat's it with you man, and thiC7s garden?
C7 Bb Am C7
[Chorus]
CTurned into my worst Ebphobia
DA crazy man's Bbutopia
CIf you're lost, no one can Ebshow you
But it Dsure was glad to Bbknow you
Only Cpoor boys take a Ebchance
On the gDarden's song and Bbdance
Feel her Cflowers, as they Ebwrap around
But oDnly smart boys do Bbwithout
[Verse 2]
You can fC7ind it all inside
No C6need to wrestle with your pride
No Cyou ain't losing your mind, you're just in the C7garden
C7They can lead you to yourself
Or yoC6u can throw it on the shelf
But you knCow you can look inside for thC7e garden
[Chorus]
CI wasn't really Ebscared
Lost Dmy virginity tBbhere
To a Cgypsy with blond Ebhair
But now Dno one seems to Bbcare
Like a mCouse inside a Ebmaze
WDandering 'round for Bbdaze
With a Csmile upon my Ebface
I Dnever want to leave this Bbplace
Only Cpoor boys take a cEbhance
On this Dgarden song and Bbdance
Feel her Cflowers, as they Ebwrap around
But oDnly smart boFys Bbdo without
Turned Cinto my worst Ebphobia
It's a cDrazy man's Bbutopia
If you're Dlost no one can sEbhow you
But it Dsure was glad to FknBbow you

The story behind the song

"The Garden" was written before the band's debut album but found its place on the 1991 album Use Your Illusion I. The song features alternating lead vocals between Axl Rose and Alice Cooper, with Cooper joining after Rose's delivery on the track was noted to resemble his style. This collaboration builds on a previous shared recording. The song also includes a contribution from Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon. It plays like a journey through a landscape both alluring and potentially treacherous.
