IN  THE  GARDEN

Time signature:  6/8   (compound time)
Tempo: ~85  bpm (using 6 counts per bar).
​
C. Austin Miles
Accordion Notation
​Left:   Beats/bar = 6   in two groups
​          of three - compound time.
          This means two primary
          beats per bar.
Right:    Outside row:  Buttons 4 to 8* (plus i1 of inside row)
              Inside row:  Buttons 4 to 8*  plus some way of
​                      dealing with the accidental (7*)# on line two
                      of refrain, perhaps playing 7* instead.

​Verse 1 (of 3):


.5   |      .5   .4   .4*        .5   .6   .7*    |    ::7  
 I       come  to   the     gar-den   a     -   lone,  /

   .7*   .6   |   :6   .6    .7*   .6   .5*   |   .:6      :5  
While the    dew  is   still   on  the       ros  -  es   /

 "6*  "6   |   :7*   .7*     :6*   "5*  "6*   |   :6   .7*      :7  
And  the    voice  I      hear   fall- ing      on  my     ear /


  .7   |   :7*   .7      :7*   .6   |   :6*   .6     .7*~    
The     Son  of    God  dis  -  clos     -    es.  
 /


Refrain (if played on outside row):

 .7~   .7*   |     :6   .6       .6   .6*   .5*   |   :6*   .6*      :6*   
And   He     walks with  me, and  He     talks with     me,    /

 "5  "5   |   :8*   .8*     .8*   .7      .i1   |  .::7  
And He    tells  me       I    am    His     own;  /

 "6   "7*   |   :7   .7      .7*   .7*   .6*   |   :6   .6     :6~  
And the       joy  we  share  as   we      tar - ry    there,  /

  .5*   |   "5   ;6   .6     "6*  .;7*   |   .::6     |       
None    oth - er  has    ev - er       known.  
/


Refrain (if played on inside row, with suggestion for the unavailable accidental (7*)# in line two):

 .7~   .7*   |     :6   .6       .6   .6*   .5*   |   :6*   .6*      :6*   
And   He     walks with  me, and  He     talks with     me,    /

 "5  "5   |   :8*   .8*     .8*   .7   .(7*)#   |  .::7  
And He    tells  me       I    am    His     own;  /

 "6   "7*   |   :7   .7      .7*   .7*   .6*   |   :6   .6     :6~  
And the       joy  we  share  as   we      tar - ry    there,  /

  .5*   |   "5   ;6   .6     "6*  .;7*   |   .::6     |       
None    oth - er  has    ev - er       known.  
/

Suggestion: I replace the accidental note (7*)# in line 2 of refrain by the note (7*).  You can also do this on the outside row, if you wish, rather than having to finger-reach for the i1 button.

​Lyrics:

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

Refrain   And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
               And He tells me I am His own;
               And the joy we share as we tarry there,
               None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
