I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry
            E
I have the leaves
               B                       A
That will fall off when wind blows by
                    E
Don't strip off my bark
               B                   A
I have been stripped of it before
             E
Yesterday's gone
                  B
And tomorrow has so much more in store

You are a bird - you're taking off in every way
              E                   B               A
Say the last word until there is nothing more to say
            E
Don't interrupt
                B               A
You know the squirrels are my friends
            E                  B             A
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend

I'm planning to see

I'm planning to feel you all over me
     B       D            A             C
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
          C       A          B
Come and get the sap out if me

         E   B  D  A
I am a tree!
                E   B  D  A
Fruitless and free!
          E   B  D  A
No symmetry!
              E   B  D  A
Touch me and see!

I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good
              E                   B                   A
I won't live long but I would be with you if I could
                E
When you take flight,
               B                      A
Remember me to one who lives there
                 E
Since you have flown,
                    B
There's something special in the air
