[Intro]
| D      | D      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                            A
Everywhere I look I see your handiwork
         G      A         Dmaj7
Now as a vine ascends the trellis
          G              Gm
The cedar planks and more
    D                 B7
The headboard and the floor
E7                          C      A
 Hold on tight they seem to tell us
        G              A
For the living must go on
D     D/F#          G
 Even though you're gone
     G/B    Em       A            D
Your soul remains in these flower boxes
 
 
[Interlude]
Cmaj7        Bm7       E7
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Am      D       G  Gmaj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                            A
Every bird I hear is singing loud and clear
             G  A            Dmaj7
Just hold on to the gift you gave us
             G                Gm
The cheerful light you brought
    D              B7
The tearful lesson taught
E7                            C      A
From despair our memories can save us
        G                    A
All the things you made with pride
   D         D/F#   G
By hand with love inside
    G/B       Em          A               D
Our hopes and dreams, all in these flower boxes
