There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean
      
 Emaj7                               
 F#m/
 E
And I hate to hurt your feelings but its not the way it seems
          
 Emaj7     
 F#m/
 E  
 Emaj7

 E
'Cause I miss her

           
 Emaj7                          
 F#m/
 E
She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known
     
 Emaj7                        
 F#m/
 E
And no one ever shared more love than we've known
       
 Emaj7    
 E7
And I miss her

        
 A
But it all seems so strange to see

 Emaj7
That she'd never turn her back on me
 
 A          
 B7              
 E7
And leave without a last goodbye
 
 A
And if she winds up walking the streets
 
 Emaj7
Loving every other man she meets
 
 A                           
 B7
Who'll be the one to answer why?
                                    
 Emaj7  
 E7  
 A  
 Am  
 E
Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me

           
 Emaj7                      
 F#m/
 E
And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand
    
 Emaj7                           
 F#m/
 E
And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand
       
 Emaj7        
 E7     
 A              
 Am  
 E 
 Emaj7
But I miss that girl   I still miss that girl
          
 A       
 Am     
 E   
 Emaj7  
 A  
 Am 
 E
Maybe someday soon, someway

NOTE: Obviously, there are two guitars playing.  The other one is
hitting the same four harmonics over and over.
