D7                    G     G6    G
When you walk in the garden 

     Am7      G    G6   G
The garden of Eden 

        Am7      G       G6    G
With a beautiful woman 

        Am7           D7     Am7     D7
And you know how you care 

         Am7          G     G6     G
And the voice in the garden 

    Am7       G     G6    G
The Garden of Eden 

          Am7       G         G6    D7
Tells you she is forbidden 

         Am7       G     G7
Can you leave her there.


 (G7)                    C        Am7    C
When you're yearnin' for lovin' 

        Am7           G     G6  G
And she touches your hand 

          G6              C      Am7    C
And your heart starts in pounding 

           Am7         G    G6    G
And you're feeling so grand 

        G6           C     Am7        C
Can you lead her to heaven 

     Am7          G      G6       G
And obey the commands 

         G6           D       Am7  
Can you walk from the garden?

                        D    DM7    D7
Does your heart understand?
