A5
         E5              B5                      A5
I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry
            E5                    
I have the leaves
               B5                       A5
That will fall off when wind blows by
                    E5
Don't strip off my bark
               B5                   A5
I have been stripped of it before
             E5
Yesterday's gone
                  B5
And tomorrow has so much more in store

           E5                   B5             A5
You are a bird - you're taking off in every way
              E5                   B5               A5
Say the last word until there is nothing more to say 
            E5
Don't interrupt
                B5               A5
You know the squirrels are my friends
            E5                  B5             A5
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend

E5
      B5          D5
I'm planning to see
A5                C5    D5  A5         B5     E5
I'm planning to feel you all over me
     B5       D5            A5             C5
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
          C5       A5          B5
Come and get the sap out if me
E5  B5  D5  A5
         E5   B5  D5  A5
I am a tree!
                E5   B5  D5  A5
Fruitless and free!
          E5   B5  D5  A5
No symmetry!
              E5   B5  D5  A5
Touch me and see!

A5
         E5                 B5                      A5
I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good
              E5                   B5                   A5
I won't live long but I would be with you if I could
                E5
When you take flight,
               B5                      A5
Remember me to one who lives there
                 E5 
Since you have flown,
                    B5
There's something special in the air

I'm planning to feel you all over me
     B5       D5            A5             C5
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
