Am Past the ivy-covered windows of The Angel Dm G Down Athenaeum Lane to the cathedral Am Through the churchyard, I wandered Dm G Sat for a spell there and I pondered F G My back to the gates F G My back to the gates F G C My back to the gates of the garden Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers Runaways and suicidal lovers Assorted boxes of ordinary bones Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hopes In unlucky rows, In unhappy rows, In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden Chorus: C G Won't you meet me at the gates Won't you meet me at the gates Won't you meet me at the gates C To the garden Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour I turn to find you waiting there for me In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe Alive and leaning Alive and leaning Alive and leaning on the gates of the garden Leave these ancient places to the angels Let the saints attend to their keeping of the cathedrals And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold For God is in this hand that I hold As we open up the gates of the garden Chorus: Won't you meet me at the gates Won't you meet me at the gates Won't you meet me at the gates | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
