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