[Intro]
Gm Dm Gm Dm
[Verse 1]
Gm                                 Dm
I hired a coach to take me from confusion to the plane
               Cm                                  G
And though we shared a common space I know I'll never meet again
     Gm                                Dm
The driver with his eyebrows furrowed in the rear-view mirror
   Cm                                       G
I read his name and it was plainly written Nathan La Franeer
   Gm
I asked him would he hurry
         D
But we crawled the canyons slowly
             Dm
Through the buyers and the sellers
              C                             G    C
Through the burglar bells and the wishing wells
      Gm               Bb    D7
With gangs and girly shows
             Gm
The ghostly garden grows
[Verse 2]
     Gm                                Dm
The cars and buses bustled thru the bedlam of the day
                  Cm                                   G
I looked through window-glass at streets and Nathan grumbled at the grey
   Gm                             Dm
I saw an aging cripple selling Superman balloons
          Cm
The city grated through chrome-plate
                   G
The clock struck slowly half-past-noon
             Gm
Through the tunnel tiled and turning
      D                             Dm
Into daylight once again I am escaping
Once again goodbye
        C                  G C
To symphonies and dirty trees
      Gm                  Bb D7
With parks and plastic clothes
             Gm
The ghostly garden grows
[Verse 3]
     Gm
He asked me for a dollar more
     Dm
He cursed me to my face
             Cm
He hated everyone who paid to ride
       G
And share his common space
   Gm
I picked my bags up from the curb
      Dm
And stumbled to the door
        Cm
Another man reached out his hand
         G
Another hand reached out for more
       Gm
And I filled it full of silver
        D
And I left the fingers counting
         Dm
And the sky goes on forever
          C                      G C
Without meter maids and peace parades
       Gm              Bb D7
You feed it all your woes
             Gm
The ghostly garden grows
      Gm              Bb D7
You feed it all your woes
             Gm
The ghostly garden grows
