Upon listening to this song the lyrics are fuzzy due to the wonderful
filter on the vocals, giving it that creepy haunting sound. i have found
no less than three different "official" words to the first line, some
funnier than others. "Swath of heaven..." to (what i hear) "Scents of
heather...", the one here is from Hunter's book _Box of Rain_. That, to
me, is the final word, aye?
i also found that the chords listed in a certain music book are
very close, but not exact. Perhaps neither are mine, but here they are.
As always, corrections are welcome...
E (7th fret) D (5th fret)
Her boots were of leather, a breath of cologne
A Bm A E
Her mirror was the window, she sat quite alone.
E F#
All around her the garden then grew
A Bm A E
Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue.
E D
She came and she went and at last went away
A Bm A E
Her garden was sealed when the flowers decayed.
E F#
On the wall of the garden a legend did say:
A Bm A Bm
"No one may come here since no one may stay_____."
