D D A D
[Verse 1]
D
Bindweed like white Morning Glory
A D
I was too vain, second-guessing the rain
G A D
She never did call, never did fall for me
D
To become a gardener two springs ago
A
On some land I just bought
G
I never thought she would cultivate and teach
A D
With the roots and the shoots and the leaves
[Chorus]
Bm D
Love is simple horticulture
Bm D
Love is simple horticulture
G D Dmaj7
Give a whistle
G D
Hold the thistles with care
[Verse 2]
D
True, I worry more in December for sure
A
Deciduous love
D
Place my sheets o'er her bud
G
Fearing winter's lust
A
For that old wry Jack Frost
Bm
Cold as ice
[Verse 3]
D
When daylight is late in descending, I'll wait
A
In backyard July soil cloaked I will lie
G
Out like a wren
A
In her bed
D
In her hymn
[Chorus]
Bm D
Love is simple horticulture
Bm D
Love is simple horticulture
G D Dmaj7
Give a whistle
G D
Hold the thistles with care
Bm
Hold the thistles with care
[Bridge]
D
I will wear and I'll tear
G
When the harvest is spare
D
For the drought, I'll prepare
Bm G
In our pay sanctuary
Bm
In spring I'll behold
D
My garden, she grows
Bm
Untold marigolds
Worthy of fables
D G
My garden she knows
[Chorus]
Bm D
Love is simple horticulture
Bm D
Love is simple horticulture
G D Dmaj7
Give a whistle
G D
Hold the thistles with care
