| I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry | A E B Asus2 | |
| I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by | ||
| Don't strip off my bark - I have been stripped of it before | ||
| Yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store |
| You are a bird - you're taking off in every way | A E B Asus2 | |
| Say the last word until there is nothing more to say | ||
| Don't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends | ||
| Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend |
| I'm planning to see | E B D Dmaj7sus2 F G A B | |
| I'm planning to feel you all over me | ||
| So climb up my trunk and build on your nest | ||
| Come and get the sap out if me | ||
| I am a tree! | E C D B | |
| Fruitless and free! | ||
| No symmetry! | ||
| Touch me and see! |
| I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good | ||
| I won't live long but I would be with you if I could | ||
| When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there | ||
| Since you have flown, there's something special in the air |
