Tom: Am

Am Am Am Am

[Verse]
 Am                            G
In the misty garden you walked by me yesterday,

didn't have a lot to say,
        Am
but you smiled at me anyway

Am (with hammer on the G [the 3rd fret, low E string])

[Verse]
 Am                            G
In the misty garden you walked by me yesterday,

didn't have a lot to say,
        Am
but you smiled at me anyway

[Chorus]
 Dm                            G
In the misty garden you walked by me,
 Dm                                G
You wouldn't even take the time to show me,
 Em    Am
either way

Am Am

[Verse]
 Am                        G
In the misty garden i can hardly see your eyes,
                            Am
Teardrops glistening in the morning light
 Am                        G
In the misty garden i was offering you mine,
                     Am
All you offer was a swiftly fly

[Chorus]
 Dm                            G
In the misty garden you walked by me,
 Dm                                G
You wouldn't even take the time to show me,
 Em    Am
either way

Am Am G G Am Am

[Verse]
 Am                           G
In the misty garden there was no one quite like you,
                                Am
A little bit of sunshine in the pouring rain
                                G
In the misty garden want you to look on me sometime,
                       Am
Change the weather or change your mind

[Chorus]
 Dm                            G
In the misty garden you walked by me,
 Dm                                G
You wouldn't even take the time to show me,
 Em    Am
either way

(Transition to "I Should Have Been Home With You")

[Verse]
 Am                           F
Saw a dancin' young lady, who worked in a bar
 Am                         E
A dozen lone rangers, don't know who they are
 Am                           F
The waitress was spinnin', my head was ajar
 Am               E              Am
And I should have been home with you

[Verse]
 Am                          F
Saw a reelin' old drunk man, dancin' around
 Am                              E
Thought his gray whiskers, still must have been brown
 Am                  F
Ida Lupino, wouldn't keep her dress down
 Am           E              Am
I should have been home with you

[Verse]
 Am                              F
The band rock and rolled, but it wasn't the best
 Am                    E
Nearly all of them, all sound like the rest
 Am                         F
Some girls look pretty, but you were the best
 Am          E              Am
That's why I came home with you

[Verse]
 Am                       F
Got home about daylight, I been gone too long
 Am                    E
Woke up at eleven, and saw you were gone
 Am                            F
So I drank lots of coffee, and wrote you this song
 Am             E              Am
I wish I'd have been home with you

[Outro]
 Am             E              Am
I wish I'd have been home with you
 Am             E              Am
I wish I'd have been home with you
