My Tree

[D       A       G        A]

           D                  A
On a hill faraway stands a tall mighty tree

        G                                           A    Asus-A
Where a boy and girl used to take 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                   G/B
Then I carved an arrow through her 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                   G/B
Then I took your arrow through my heart
                 D
Just to say, I love you
                 G
Just to say, I love you

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

              A         F#        E       G
'Cause I will always remember 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                      G/B
Then I took an arrow through my heart
                          D             G
Just to say, I love you
                         D               G
Just to say, I love you
              D             G            D (bass - B,A,G,D)
I really love you
