Oak Trees

D  D  D

[Verse 1]
D
When I die will you put me
D
Under the earth under the oak trees
D
And if I die before the sun rises
D
I’ll be just fine right where I am
D
Cause I know where I’m going
D
I know where I’ll be
D
Yeah, I know where I’m going
    A         D
So you don’t cry about me

[Chorus]
                 G
Cause I’ll be dancing, I’ll be 
singing
           D
I’ll be spinning ‘round in circles
           G
I’ll be jumping, I’ll be screaming
        D
When I see that silver lining
       G                         
And I hope that you’ll be with me 
       A
some day
                   Em  G
So don’t cry about me
         A              D
Cause I know where i’ll be

Start a fire with my guitar
D
I used to play when i got started
D
I won’t have a need for things like 
that
D                              A
When I’m put six feet under ground

[Chorus]
                 G
Cause I’ll be dancing, I’ll be 
singing
            D
I’ll be spinning ‘round in circles
           G
I’ll be jumping, I’ll be screaming
        D
When I see that silver lining
       G                         
And I hope that you’ll be with me 
       A
some day
                   Em  G
So don’t cry about me
         A               D
Cause I know where i’ll be

Won’t keep me from my family late at
 night

Yeah, this is where I’ll stay
           E           G
