# Enjoy playing this on guitar, but I think the original song
# is on a ukulele. If you want to try it on the uke, here's 
# how to do the chord shapes I think R. Hunter plays on it:
# 
#     A   A7M D7M   E     D6  A9
# A | --0-----4-----4-----2-----2-----2-- | 
# E | --0-----4-----2-----4-----2-----0-- | 
# C | --4-----4-----2-----4-----2-----4-- | 
# G | --6-----6-----2-----4-----2-----6-- | 


A   A7M       D7M         E
You told me the rain would be coming
A        A7M      D7M        E
Down, so I stayed inside with my bottle
  A                     A7M
I heard what you said, I always hear
             D7M            E
I just don't learn so good, I know I should listen more
A         A7M D7M  E
Carefully, more carefully

D6           E               A      A9
You said our love was like a bonsai tree
D6     E                A     A7M
And of course, you were right
D6              E               A    A9
Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy
   E                              D6
To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight

A                  A7M                    D7M   E
Oh how the light reflected off you when you came to me
   A            A7M  D7M          E
Ya floated like Mary into my darkened room
        A                      A7M       D7M           E
We were there once things were fine, I was yours, you were mine
          A           A7M       D7M          E
We had it all, it was ours, oh my god, below the stars

             D6          E              A      A9
And then you told me our love is like a bonsai tree
D6    E             A     A7M
And I knew you were right
D6              E               A    A9
Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy
   E                              D6
To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight


# Another verse progression, ending with an A.
