Under The Ivy

Words & Music:

Kate Bush

 

Gm                  F                       Eb

It wouldn't take me long to tell you how to find it,

Eb                      Bb     F/A

To tell you where we'll meet.

Gm                 F                            Eb        Bb   F/A

This little girl inside me is retreating to her favourite place.

   Gm                  F

Go into the garden, go under the ivy.

Eb                  F

Under the leaves, away from the party.

Gm                        F                  Eb    Bb   F/A

Go right to the rose...go right to the white rose.

 

I sit here in the thunder.  The green on the grey.

I feel it all around me...and it's not easy for me.

To give away a secret - it's not safe.

 

But go into the garden.  Go under the ivy.

Under the leaves, away from the party.

Gm              F                      Eb

Go right to the rose...go right to the white rose for me.

        Bb      F/A   Gm

I'll be waiting for you.

                    F                       Bb

It wouldn't take me long to tell you how to find it.
