Standard Tuning
Capo 3

There's a part that I'm not sure of, but I'll fix it when I can.
The Gm sounds good only sometimes, so use it as a G if you please.


Intro: G

G

If I were a tree I'd shake you off,
C
Who needs all those dying leaves?
G
I'd follow my roots to the underground,
C
Drink wine with all the thieves.

G

G
If I were a tree I'd give you wood,
C
Make you a dendrophiliac.
G
I'd have a laugh because I could;
C
Oh, my knots and twists are not for that.

G

C G
Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong
Gm F G
In the winter when my limbs are so bare
C G
Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong
Gm F G
In the winter when my limbs are so bare

G

G
If I were a tree I would age so the well;
C
I'd watch the years paint on your face.
G
Follow my roots to the underground,
C
Watch you disappear without a trace...trace.

G

C G
Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong,
Gm F G
In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
C G
Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong,
Gm F G
In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
Gm F G
In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
Gm F G
In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
