In the Garden
(I Come to the Garden Alone)
Capo 1
G I come to the garden alone while the dew A7 G D is still on the roses, and the A7 D G voice I hear falling on my ear, A D7 the son of God discloses. G D And he walks with me and he talks with me, C G and he tells me I am his own; D G A7 and the joy we share as we tarry there, G D G none other has ever known.
Words: C. Austin Miles, 1913 (Jn. 20:11-18)
Music: C. Austin Miles, 1913; adapt. by Charles H. Webb, 1987
I use a slightly different version, which works well:
(Capo 1st fret)
[G] I come to the garden alone
While the [C] dew is still on the [G] roses
And the [D7] voice I hear falling [G] on my ear
The [A7] Son of [Am7] God dis[D]clo[C#dim]os[D7]es.
Refrain:
[D7] And He [G] walks with me, and He [D7] talks with me,
And He [D9] tells me I [Bm] am [F#] His [G] own;
And the joy we [B7] share as we [Em] tar[G7]ry [C] there,
None [G] other has [D7] ever [G] known.
[G] He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so [C] sweet the birds hush their [G] singing,
And the [D7] melody that He [G] gave to me
With[A7]in my [Am7] heart is [D] ri[C#dim]ing[D7]ing.
Refrain:
[D7] And He [G] walks with me, and He [D7] talks with me,
And He [D9] tells me I [Bm] am [F#] His [G] own;
And the joy we [B7] share as we [Em] tar[G7]ry [C] there,
None [G] other has [D7] ever [G] known.
[G] I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the [C] night around me be [G] falling,
But He [D7] bids me go; through the [G] voice of woe
His [A7] voice to [Am7] me is [D] ca[C#dim]all[D7]ing.
Refrain:
[D7] And He [G] walks with me, and He [D7] talks with me,
And He [D9] tells me I [Bm] am [F#] His [G] own;
And the joy we [B7] share as we [Em] tar[G7]ry [C] there,
None [G] other has [D7] ever [G] known.
Thanks!
