G
In this garden
A
This lovely garden
A#         A         G
I build a temple of love
G
Walk with the Father
A
Won't be a bother
A#            A           G  A A#
To touch the Earth as it was
C
We'll farm the land each day
    B
And in the sunshine we will play
Em
Glory glory for the day He came
      A
Our tears had gone away
C
We'll make love in the shade
    B
And in the ocean we will bathe
Em
Little fishies in the sea
        A
Say hooray

Chorus

In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust
And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it forever last
And darling when you're cold
I'll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darling going to make
it through the storm
You'll never be alone

Chorus

In this garden
There'll be no war
No racial prejudice
You'll be my brother
Of any color
You'll just be okay with us
We'll live each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven
I build this garden
I build this garden for us
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Chorus

   A          F#m     D
I build this garden, yeah
     A     B   Em
 No built it yeah
A      F#m
No war no more
    D         A
No built it yeah
                  B
Going to build yeah
Em
Yeah ouh
