The Minus 5 - The Family Gardener

      [Intro]
C

[Verse]
C
  The family garden is a special place
                        Em
In sun and shade there, I was raised
C                          F
  But voices fade away and rooms are rearranged
    C              Bb  Gm C
Now I'm the family gardener

[Verse]

You need a stethoscope and a good good rake
                                Em
Some beer for snails and a rope for snakes
C              Cm         Dm                       F  
   A flowerbed to fall in as the moonlight breaks
C                      Bb        C
When you're the family gardener
                   Em  F
And I'm the family gardener

[Bridge]
                                       C                 
As I look down with my two eyes and my two green thumbs
Am                       Ab 
I despise the people who walk on the green green grass
C              D
I grew with my watered love

[Instrumental]
G Bb C

[Verse]

Now some other son sleeps in the southern wing
                                            Bm       Em     C
And someone else's mother sits to paint the pastoral scene
                                   Dm    F
My father always said that I would never amount to anything
    C              Bb        C
But I'm the family gardener
               Ab   Am
I'm the family gardener
F              C  G C
I'm the family gardener
