There's a place I can get to

Where I'm safe from the city blues

Where it's clean and it's quiet

Only trouble was, I had to buy it
CHORUS:
N.C. Fm Cm C#
I'd do anything I got to do

Cut my hair and shine my shoes
Fm Cm
Keep on singing the blues

If I can stay here
N.C. D# G# C# D#
In Johnny's garden
G# C# D#
There's a swift road lies over the grasses
G# C# D#
Dipping now and then to take juice and breakfast
G# C# D#
This I come and go in my travels
G# C#
I watched that blow and unravel

And his children are his flowers

They bring me peace and quiet hours
