[INTRO]
[G]
[VERSE 1]
Feel the wind burn through my skin
The [C]pain, the [G]air is killing me
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
A [Am]nest for [C]birds to sit and [G]sing
[VERSE 2]
But [C]now my [D]branches suffer [Em]
And my [G]leaves don't bear the [Am]glow
They d[C]id so long a[G]go
[VERSE 3]
[C]One day [G]I was [C]full of [G]life
My [C]sap was [D]rich and I [G]was strong
From seed to tree I [C]grew so [G]tall
Through [C]wind and [D]rain I could not [G]fall
[VERSE 4]
But [C]now my [D]branches [Cm]suffer [Em]
And my [C]lea[G]ves don't offer [Am]
Poe[D]try to men of [G]song
[VERSE 5]
Trees like me weren't meant to [C]live
If [G]all this world can [C]give
Pol[G]lution and slow death
[VERSE 6]
Oh, lord, I lay me down
There's no life to be [Am]found [G]
There's nothing left for a tree like me
