[G] [D] [C]
On that day when first I saw you, how [F] my young heart filled [C] with joy,
[F] You were picking sweet [C] primroses as I chanced to pass [G] you by.
[C] I felt some strange thing happen, and [F] I felt something had [C] changed.
[F] Somehow I knew, [C] because of you, [G] I'd never be [C] the same.
[F] You live in a rich [C] man's garden, the [G] fairest flower of all [C] that grew.
[F] In a world I had [C] no part of, where no harm could fall [G] on you.
[C] I never got to know you, [F] for you never looked my [C] way.
[F] So I left you in [C] that garden, [G] and I sadly walked [C] away.
Your father, he has riches, [F] with nothing left [C] to crave.
[F] A lord of [C] all the people, with a soul [G] cold as the grave.
[C] And I knew he'd give no quarter [F] to one [Dm] as poor [C] as me.
[F] So I never crossed [C] that garden, where [G] I knew my heart [C] to be.
[F] You live in a rich [C] man's garden, the [G] fairest flower of all [C] that grew.
[F] In a world I had [C] no part of, where no harm could fall [G] on you.
[C] And I never got to know you, [F] for you never looked my [C] way.
So [F] I left you in [C] that garden, and [G] I sadly walked [C] away.

Now the years have slipped behind me, [F] my hair has turned [C] to grey.
I [F] still see you in that [C] garden, on that far off [G] summer's day.
[C] You were six and I was seven, with not [F] a jacket to [C] my name.
How [F] I loved you in [C] that garden, but you [G] never spoke [C] my name.
[F] You lived in a rich [C] man's garden, the [G] fairest flower [D] of all [C] that grew.
[F] In a world I had [C] no part of, where no harm could fall [G] on you.
[C] And I never got to know you, for [F] you never looked my [C] way.
[F] So I left you in [C] that garden, [G] and I sadly walked [C] away.
