This is a simple tab/chord setting for Mirah's "The Garden" with strums and arpeggios
during the repeated section. Enjoy!
No Capo... just Em and B7 all the way through. Feel free to get a crazy percussionist
to join you to spice things up.
Intro: Play until the word *bring* -- then switch to chord strums. I slapped the
guitar for effect on beats 2 and 4, but left off 4 before *bring*.

B7
All the flowers you
Em
Find out in the garden?
B7
Don't tell me the truth
Em
That your heart has hardened.
Repeated Section: Start the Em arpeggio on *you* and play all eighth notes. Start the
B7 arpeggio on *anymore* and play all eighth notes. Strum again on *can*

I was wondering
B7 Em
If you could maybe darling think?
B7
I'd give everything

If you'd grant my love a pardon
B7
And then all the fruits
Em
Again would fill the garden.
