[E] _ Mr.
Bell's [A] from a foreign [B] place, [G#m] his [C#m] family all [F#m] were [B] farmers. _
[E] He [G#m] arrived from [A] across the [B] sea [G#m] and [C#m] came to be [E] next door.
[A] And he works [D#] his land _
[A] _ with a knowing [D#] _ _ hand.
[A] _ Though it's very [E] small, _ [C#m] he makes it grow [F#] so well.
[A] In the changing [B] garden [A] of _ [B] Mr.
[E] Bell.
_ _ [A] These _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ are [A] asters and _ [B] edelweiss [G#m] and [C#m] rows and [F#m] rows of _ [B] roses.
[E] _ Those are hives [A] in the [B] dogwood [G#m] trees for [C#m] bees to come [E] and go. _ _
[A] _ It's a [D#] wondrous sight _ _
[A] in the [D#] morning light. _
[A] And the earth [E] is full _ [C#m] of every color, every [F#] smell. _

_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ I once [D] saw a photograph [C#m] upon [F#m] his [Bm] mantel [E] shelf.
_ [A] _ Of a beautiful [D] lady, a child [C#m] in her arms, [F#m] and the young [Bm] Mr.
Bell [E]
himself.
[G] _ I wondered [C] out loud about [G] them, [Em] and he answered [Am] in the [D] strangest way.
[G] He just said, look, see how [C] the garden [G] grows.
It's always [Em] changing [Am] _ _
[D] every [E] _ day.

_ _ [E] _ _ Bell [A] has his morning [B] tea, _ [G#m] and I [C#m] will bring [F#m] his [B] paper.
[E] See the sun [A] through the curtain [B] lace, [G#m] _ [C#m] dapple his face and [E] _ _ [A] hands.
_ Every day [F#m] is new, [B] _ _ [A] there is much to _ [B] do.
[A] _ _ Life's a [E] mystery, _ _ [C#m] full of secrets that might [F#] _ tell.
