Feel the wind burn through my skin
     Em7/D     [ch]A7/D[/ch]           D
The pain, the air is killing me
       D        [ch]F#m/D[/ch]          Em7/D    D7
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
    Em7/D    [ch]A7/D[/ch]             D
A nest for birds to sit and sing
      G      A7     A#dim  Bm       D7                   Em
But now my branches suffer and my leaves don't bear the glow
F#m   [ch]Em7/G[/ch]   A7   D
They did so long ago

D        [ch]F#m/D[/ch]    Em7/D    D7
One day I was full of life
    Em7/D    [ch]A7/D[/ch]              D
My sap was rich and I was strong
     D       [ch]F#m/D[/ch]  Em7/D   D7
From seed to tree I grew so tall
          Em7/D     [ch]A7/D[/ch]             D
Through wind and rain I could not fall
     G        A7     A#dim  Bm      D7               Em
But now my branches suffer and my leaves don't offer
F#m  [ch]Em7/G[/ch]  A7      D
Poetry to men of song

Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this world can give
        [ch]A7/D[/ch]             D
Is pollution and slow death
   [ch]F#m/D[/ch]  F         Em7/D    D7               Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down no life's left to be found
           [ch]A7/D[/ch]            D
There's nothing left for me
(D)         [ch]F#m/D[/ch]                Em7/D   D7                  Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this earth can give
       [ch]A7/D[/ch]      D
Is pollution
    [ch]F#m/D[/ch]          Em7/D     D7             Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down my branches to the ground
          [ch]A7/D[/ch]             D
There's nothing left for me
