C5        E5          C5        G5
Well why won't you dance with me

C5             G5
The night is free

C5             G5                 A5
And my hands...   my hands are aching?

 E5          C5        G5
Why won't you hold me.

            F5             C5                D5
Like the stars I see are holding the sky?

(Chorus)

F5                            C5
Well I'll be hanging in the trees

F5                         C5
Of these dusty old palm tree

F5                         C5
If you're wondering after me

F5                 G5
That's where I'll be

G5                   C5
In this dusty old palm tree



C5        E5          C5        G5
Well why won't you sing to me

C5             G5
Sing me a melody

C5        G5                      A5
So sweet... that it makes my heart bleed?

E5          C5        G5
Well why won't you cradle me,

           F5                 C5                D5
Rock me endlessly like the waves rock the sea?


(Chorus)

F5                            C5
Well I'll be hanging in the trees

F5                         C5
Of these dusty old palm tree

F5                         C5
If you're wondering after me

F5                 G5
That's where I'll be

G5                   C5
In this dusty old palm tree


C5        E5          C5        G5
Well why don't you run to me,

            C5      G5                                A5
Cross this empty beach... scrape the sand with your feet,

E5                C5              G5
And lean up against this tree,

            F5               C5                     D5
Where I'm swinging in the breeze, just out of reach


(Chorus)

F5                            C5
Well I'll be hanging in the trees

F5                         C5
Of these dusty old palm tree

F5                         C5
If you're wondering after me

F5                 G5
That's where I'll be

G5                   C5         F5 G5 C5 
In this dusty old palm tree
