Cmaj7     D                   Cmaj7
I look inside at the scarlet room
           D                 Cmaj7
Places to hide in the dusty gloom
          D                  Em7
A noisy clock and a silver spoon

Cmaj7    D                Cmaj7
A china cup on the mantlepiece
           D                     Cmaj7
Gathering dust as it did in the East
             D                       Em7
And just outside lies the garden of peace

Bm7                 Cmaj7
Oh, tell me is this really true
       Bm7                   Cmaj7
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
        Am7            Bm7
Tell me over, over and over
                Cmaj7        B7
Tell me is this really happening

            Cmaj7            D
Inside this world it's beautiful
              Cmaj7           D
Peace in this garden has come true

Cmaj7     D                 Cmaj7
A mirror pond reflects the dawn
          D                         Cmaj7
Over the banks, 'cross the emerald lawn
              D                     Em7
A breeze has come and I'm carried along

Cmaj7          D                        Cmaj7
So follow the path through the knowing trees
                  D                       Cmaj7
And each time you laugh, it is love you release
                    D                     Em7
That love will come back in the garden of peace

Bm7                 Cmaj7
So, tell me is this really true
       Bm7                   Cmaj7
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
        Am7            Bm7
Tell me over, over and over
                Cmaj7        B7
Tell me is this really happening

            Cmaj7            D
Inside this world it's beautiful
             Cmaj7           D
Peace in the garden has come true

Bm7                 Cmaj7
Oh, tell me is this really true
       Bm7                   Cmaj7
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
        Am7            Bm7
Tell me over, over and over
                Cmaj7        B7
Tell me is this really happening

            Cmaj7            D
Inside this world it's beautiful
             Cmaj7           D
Peace in the garden has come true
