[Verse 1]
 
Fmaj7*                       Fmaj7*
 I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground
Fmaj7*                  Fmaj7*
  And it died without a sound
Fmaj7*                         Fmaj7*
 Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves
Fmaj7*                      Fmaj7*
  And no-one saw us but the trees
 
[Chorus]
 
          F                       F
Yeah, the tre---es, those useless tre---es
            Bb               F
Produce the ai---r that I am breathing
          F                       F
Yeah, the tre---es, those useless tre---es
           Bb                    F
They never sa---id that you were leaving
 
[Verse 2]
 
Fmaj7*                     Fmaj7*
 I carved your name with a heart just up above
Fmaj7*                          Fmaj7*
 Now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable like our love
Fmaj7*                           Fmaj7*
 The smell of leaf mould and the sweetness of decay
Fmaj7*                             Fmaj7*
 Are the incense at the funeral procession here today
 
[Chorus]
 
       F                       F
In the tre---es, those useless tre---es
            Bb               F
Produce the ai---r that I am breathing
          F                       F
Yeah, the tre---es, those useless tre---es
           Bb                    F
They never sa---id that you were leaving
 
[Bridge]
 
Bb                             Bb6               Bb7        Bb
 You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
Bb                            Bb6                   Bb7     Bb     C
 Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me-----e-----
   F                                F                               F     F
Oh no, I might as well - I might as well just go and tell it to the trees

Go and tell it to the tre---es, yeah
