Make Our Garden Grow (from Candide)

You've been a (Esus)fool (E)and (D)so have I,

But (A)come and (E)be my (A)wife,

(E)And let us (Esus)try (E)(D)before we die

To (A)make (B)some (E)sense of (B7)life.

(E)We're (C#m)(G#m)neither pure nor (C#m)wise nor (G#m)good;

We'll (F#)do the best we (B)know;

We'll build our (Esus)house, (E)and chop our wood,

And (A)make our (D)(A)garden (C#m)grow,

And make our (B7)garden grow.

I thought the (Abmaj7)world was (Ab9)sugarcake,

For (Db)so (Eb7)our (Ab)master (Db)said;

(Ab)But now I'll (Abmaj7)teach my (Ab9)hands to bake

Our (Db)loaf of (Fm)daily (Ab)bread.

We're (Fm)(Eb)neither (Fm7)pure nor (Fm)wise nor good;

We'll (Bb)do the best we (Eb)know;

We'll build our (Abmaj7)house, and (Ab9)chop our wood,

And (Db)make our (Gb)(Db)garden (Fm)grow,

And make our (Eb7)garden (Absus)grow.

(G)Let dreamers (Cmaj7)dream what (C7)worlds they please;

Those (C)Edens can't be (C9)found.

(C)The sweetest (Cmaj7)flow'rs, the (C7)fairest trees

Are (C)grown in solid (G)ground.

(G)We're (Am)neither pure nor wise nor (Em)good.

We'll (D)do the best we (G)know.

We'll build our (Csus)house, (C)and (C7)chop our wood,

And (Am)make our (Bb)(F)garden (Am)grow,

And make our (G7)garden (C)grow.
