C There's the river, there's the house, A# and there's the church. Gm A# And there's us years ago. C Deep in your garden where A# the nettle met the rose C Is where we hide ourselves. A# Yes we were just kids C But you couldn't tell us that A# These are the garden rules C That's what you always said Chorus: A# Oh, you will never know, C How much I love you so, A# Oh, you will never know, C How much I love you. You would call the garden rules out like commands And we would all obey But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke And puncture the pretend Then we would chase our tails Until the sun forgot to shine And our parents called our names 'Til just you and I were left Chorus From your house we walk the river To the church by the silent fields amongst the lavender and headstones And the larks in our Sunday clothes Your father calls to you As he's looking at his watch You leave me with a kiss On my quickly heating cheek Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
