THORN TREE IN THE GARDEN- Derek and the Dominos
Emaj7 F#m/E
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 F#m/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
Emaj7: 0 2 2 4 4 4
F#m/E: 0 4 4 2 2 2
NOTE: Obviously, there are two guitars playing. The other one is
hitting the same four harmonics over and over.

Eric Clapton - Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs - 14 - Thorn Tree In The Garden
Last Song There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean, And I hate to hurt your feelings but its not the way it seems, 'Cause I miss her. She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known. And no one ever shared more love than we've known. And I miss her. But it all seems so strange to see, That she'd never turn her back on me And leave without a last goodbye. And if she winds up walking the streets, Loving every other man she meets Who'll be the one to answer why? Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me. And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand. And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand But I miss that girl. I still miss that girl. Maybe someday soon, somewhere.

You never forget that "one", that raw human emotion is unforgetable and reminds us that we're alive. This song was written and sung by Bobby Whitlock.
