Secret Gardens Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [Am] [Em] [Dm] [C] [F] [G]

[VERSE 1]
My [C]grandmother's house is still [Am]there
But it isn't the [Em]same
A [C]plain wooden [F]cottage
A [Dm]patch of brown [G]lawn
And a [Dm]fence that hangs [Am]standing
And [F]sighing in the Seattle [C]rain [G]

[VERSE 2]
I [C]drive by with [Am]strangers
And wish they could see what I [Em]see
A [C]tangle of summer [F]birds
[Dm]Flying in sun[G]light
A [Dm]forest of l[Am]ilies
An [F]orchard of apricot [C]trees [G]

[CHORUS]
[F]Secret [Dm]Gardens [F]of the [C]heart
Where the [F]flowers bloom for[Dm]eve[C]r
I [F]see you [Dm]shining [F]through the [C]night
[F]In the ice and snow of [Dm]win[C]ter

[VERSE 3]
Great [C]grandfather's farm is still [Am]there
But it isn't the [Em]same
The [C]barn is torn [F]down
And the [Dm]fences are [G]gone
The [Dm]Idaho wind [Am]blows
The [F]topsoil away every [C]Spring [G]

[VERSE 4]
I [C]still see the [Am]ghosts
Of the people I knew long a[Em]go
In[C]side the old [F]kitchen
They [Dm]bend and [G]sigh
My [Dm]life passed them [Am]up
And the [F]world passed them [C]by [G]

[CHORUS]
[F]Secret [Dm]Gardens [F]of the [C]heart
Where the [F]old stay young for[Dm]eve[C]r
I [F]see you [Dm]shining [F]through the [C]night
[F]In the ice and snow of [Dm]win[C]ter

[VERSE 5]
But [C]most of all it is me that has [Am]changed
And yet I'm still the [Em]same
That's [C]me at the [F]weddings
That's [Dm]me at the [G]graves
[Dm]Dressed like the [Am]people
Who [F]once looked so grown-up and [C]brave [G]

[VERSE 6]
I [C]look in the mirror through the [Am]eyes
Of the child that was [Em]me
I [C]see willows [F]bending
The [Dm]season is [G]Spring
And the [Dm]silver blue sailing [Am]birds
[F]Fly with the sun on their [C]wings [G]

[CHORUS]
[F]Secret [Dm]Gardens [F]of the [C]heart
Where [F]dreams live on for[Dm]eve[C]r
I [F]see you [Dm]shining [F]through the [C]night
[F]In the ice and snow of [Dm]win[C]ter
