314 In the Garden


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.

  1. 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.
