Chords for A Girls Garden from Frostiana by Randall Thompson performed by Georgia State University Women's Chorus conducted by Judy Jones

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ We were independent, [Dm] just held [A] out and [D] screamed.
When she was a [F] girl and a mom, she didn't have a job like me.
One day she asked her father [Bb] to _ _ [C] lend and tend and we [A] burst out laughing.
He said, why not?
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [A]
We'd be casting [Db] about for [Dm] a quarter.
She thought and I don't think.
So I pulled [C] up and rushed off and [F] _ _ _ to make it.
[Bb] And _ [A] _ [Dm] _ [D] I was so straight, my husband didn't want.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] [Am] It was not enough [Dm] for a garden.
And her [F] father said to help, so she had to work in a woodland.
_ She willed and dogged and _ _ [C] _ _ willed and laughed.
_ _ _ [F] _ Her not nice [D] look came _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] from [Dm] anyone passing.
And then she [Bb] got the [C] seed.
She [Dm] said she'd get she'd plant in one [F] of our green.
A kill of potatoes, fresh as [D] a pea, tomato [G] peas, pumpkins, corn [Am] and even [Dm] bro trees. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] And guess who dropped this [Am] trust in, that side [Dm] of our old tree.
Been married [A] ten to date, where as old as [C] this may be.
The ground [Bb] was tiny, my mom's [C] _
_ opens up everything.
_ [Am] A great deal of [D] none. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ She sees in a village, how [C] village [G] things go.
[D] Just when it seems [F] to come in back, she says, [Bbm] oh _ [C] I know.
[N] _ _
It's as when I was a farmer.
_ _ _ Oh never had we a nice.
_ [A] Oh [Bb] she knows.
I [C] need a tenner, _ _ _ to take my [E] plants and do all.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
