Tom: D 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
