Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I leave [D]the noise
and the dark city canyons
And walk through gates of
wrought iron [A]black
There lies a [D]world [Dm]that's
Transformed [D]before me
When [A]I arrive will I ever go [D]back

[Verse 2]
I take a [D]walk in botanical gardens
And look for the faces of
The pretty young [A]girls
Just like [D]the flowers that
Bloom all around me
I fall in [A]love in this colorful [D]world

[Verse 3]
You might go [G]walking an[Abdim]d
thinking of noth[Dm]ing[D]
Perhaps your [G]love life [Abdim]is
caught in [D]a bind
There in a [G]flowery [Abdim]dress
in the sun[D]light
[Bm]You'll find somebody[Bb] who will
Change your [A]mind

[Verse 4]
She's haunting [D]me and she
losing my memory
That beautiful [Dm]face [D]with perfume in the [A]air
She brushes my [D]arm and smiles ever faintly
A famine and vision [A]with the sun in her [D]hair

[Verse 5]
We might go [G]walking hand [Abdim]in
Hand in [Dm]the garden [D]and
cross [G]the bridge when
It's [Abdim]starting to [D]rain
And then [G]go laughing and [Abdim]looking for s[E]helter
[D]And[Bm] find a feeling[Bb] that
you can't ex[A]plain

[Verse 6]
The colorful [D]birds in botanical gardens
[Dm]All [D]fly away to a breezy lagoon[A]
Where lovers can [Dm]swim [D]in
The warm summer waters
Surrounded by [A]flowers and the
Light of the [D]moon

[Interlude 1]
[G][Abdim][D][G][Abdim]
[D][Dm][G][Ab][D][Bm][B][Bb]
[A]

[Verse 7]
It's getting [D]late [Dm]and the
[D]Gates will be closing
Shall I remain or go back [A]to the world
Shall I re[D]main in botanical
gardens
Surrounded by [A]flowers and
Those beautiful [D]girls

[Verse 8]
Shall I [D]remain in botanical garden
Surrounded by [A]flowers and
Those beautiful [D]girls
I love those [A]flowers and
Those beautiful [D]girls
I dig those [A]flowers and those
beautiful [D]girls
[Dm][D]
