Rush - The Garden Chords

[Intro]
F Db F Eb (x2)


[Verse 1]
        F                          Cm11
In this one of many possible worlds
                Bbsus2                F
All for the best, or some bizarre test
   F                      Cm11
It is what it is, and whatever
        Bbsus2                 F
Time is still the infinite jest
    F                          Cm11
The arrow flies when you dream;
                   Bbsus2
The hours tick away
                F
The cells tick away
         F                     Cm11
The Watchmaker keeps to his schemes
                   Bbsus2
The hours tick away
              F
They tick away


[Chorus]
Gm                     Bb                   Cm
  The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect;
   Eb6
So hard to earn, so easily burned
Gm                      Bb                  Cm
  The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect;
   Eb6
So hard to earn, so easily burned
Gm                       Bb
  In the fullness of time
            Eb         Bb/D    Cm Bb
A garden to nurture and protect

F Db F Eb


[Verse 2]
       F                          Cm11
In the rise and the set of the sun
                   Eb6/9                             F
Until the stars go spinning, spinning round the night
        F                       Cm11
Oh, it is what is it is, and forever;
       Eb6/9                   F
Each moment, a memory in flight
    F                            Cm11
The arrow flies while you breathe;
                   Eb6/9
The hours tick away
                F
The cells tick away
      F                          Cm11
The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve
                   Bbsus2
The hours tick away
              F
They tick away


[Chorus]
Gm                     Bb                   Cm
  The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect;
   Eb6
So hard to earn, so easily burned
Gm                       Bb
  In the fullness of time
              Eb       Bb/D    Cm
A garden to nurture and protect
                Bb
(It's a measure of a life)
Gm                  Bb                    Cm
  The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect:
    Eb6
The way you live, the gifts that you give
Gm                       Bb
  In the fullness of time
                  Eb         Bb/D    Cm Bb
It's the only return that you expect

[Bridge]
F                           Fmaj7
 The future disappears into memory
F                          Fmaj7
 With only a moment between
F                       Fmaj7
 Forever dwells in that moment;
F                    Fmaj7
Hope is what remains to be seen
F                       Fmaj7
 Forever dwells in that moment;
F                    Fmaj7
Hope is what remains to be seen
