My Tree

[D       A       G        A]

           D                  A
On a hill faraway stands a tall 
mighty tree

        G                        
Where a boy and girl used to take 
                   A    Asus-A
turns pushing a tire swing
                    D
I remember the pocketknife in hand
         A
And her name in my heart
                     G
And thinkin’ there ain’t no way for 
a boy to contain
          E               F#
The love that he feels inside

          G            D
So I carved her name into my tree
              G          A
Then I carved a heart around her 
name
               Bm         G       
Then I carved an arrow through her
            G/B
 heart
                 D                 G
Just to say, I love you

Now on a hill far away stood an old 
rugged cross
          G                    A
The emblem of suffering and shame
                D
I remember the nails through my 
hands
               A
And your name in my heart
                    G
And how in their wordless way the 
nails explain
      E                 F#
The love that I feel inside

           G               D
As they carved your name into my 
tree
          G                 A
Where I wrapped my heart around your
 name
        Bm                 G      
Then I took your arrow through my 
             G/B
heart
                 D
Just to say, I love you
                 G
Just to say, I love you

           Bm     G               
Now I can never forget how much 
    D
you mean to me

              A         F#  
'Cause I will always remember 
      E       G
whenever I see

                 G         D
Where I carved your name into my 
tree
           G               A
Where I wrapped my heart around your
 name
         Bm             G     
Then I took an arrow through my 
                 G/B
heart
                          D        
Just to say, I love you
     G

                         D         
Just to say, I love you
      G

              D             G       
     D (bass - B,A,G,D)
I really love you
