Verse 1
[G]
My love stood under a walnut tree
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall
[G]
She whispered that she'd be true to me
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall
[D]
She had beautiful eyes and beautiful hair
[D] [G]
She wasn't so tall and she stood on a chair
[C] [G]
And many a time I met her there
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall
Chorus
[G] [D]
Over the garden wall
[D]
The sweetest girl of all
[D] [G]
They never were yet such eyes of jet
[C] [G]
And you can bet I'll never forget
[C] [G]
The day our lips in kisses met
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall

Verse 2
[G]
There's always a will, there's always a way
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall
[G]
There's always the night as well as the day
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall
[D]
We hadn't much money, so our wedding was cheap
[D] [G]
And while her old father was snoring asleep
[C] [G]
With a lad and a ladder she managed to creep
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall
Chorus
[G] [D]
Over the garden wall
[D]
The sweetest girl of all
[D] [G]
They never were yet such eyes of jet
[C] [G]
And you can bet I'll never forget
[C] [G]
The day our lips in kisses met
[D] [G]
Over the garden wall

Yes, over the garden wall
