F
[verse 1]
F
Bobby's off on holiday, Away across the sea
C
Setting up his easel, A new scene to see
F
Says that he's had enough, Of standing in the rain
C Bb
Now he's looking for the good life, With European pain
[chorus]
Dm C Bb
Did you know your garden's overgrown
F
And what is shown?
[verse 2]
F
Meeting all these pretty girls Singing golden hair
C
He's in touch with the painter's mind And Syd's unflinching stare
F
Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge Sipping kaffee in Berlin
C Bb
Might take in the colored lights In the city they call sin
[chorus]
Dm C Bb
He could see The writing on the wall
F
Ten feet tall
Dm C Bb
Did you know your garden's overgrown
F
And what is shown?
[bridge]
D Dm
But oh there are times
Bb Am
He wished the world Would fade just into sight
D Dm
And oh, the feelings that changed
Bb Am
Were thicker than the brush strokes of fame
[Link]
F
[Verse 3]
F
Now he rides the dirt roads of old southern Spain
C
And when senoritas sing He can hear them say
[chorus]
Dm C Bb
Did you know your garden's overgrown
F
And what is shown?
Dm C Bb
He could see The writing on the wall
F
Ten feet tall
