[Intro]
G
G G Em F
G G Em F

[Verse]
G                                Em              F
   The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
G                             Em             F
   I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound
G                               Em               F
   I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly
G                    Em             F
   A caterpillar to a moth before I die
G                       Em            F
   I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound
G                             Em                F
   I knew my feet could never leave the ground
G                         Em          F
   I went about my way, unsteady and afraid
G                         Em              F
   How could I know I was headed for this day?

[Chorus]
        G               Am              G             C
All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days
        C#            D                          E
And the weeks And the months And the years of my life
D                      B                 E
  It was all worth it,    To be here now
      F            G
I'm a hummingbird    Floatin' tree to tree
      F            G               C
I'm a hummingbird    Beautiful and free


[Verse]
G                               Em            F
   The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down
G                                 Em                    F
   The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground
G                                Em           F
   New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown
G                          Em               F
   A branch to rest upon A place to call my own
G                                 Em              F
   Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why
G                            Em           F
   I wasn't dreaming, I was awake, I was alive
G                            Em              F
   Gave up the ghost, he had nothing left to say
G                     Em                 F
   But it was him who brought me to this day

[Chorus]
        G               Am              G             C
All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days
        C#            D                          E
And the weeks And the months And the years of my life
D                      B                 E
  It was all worth it,    To be here now
      F            G
I'm a hummingbird    Floatin' tree to tree
      F            G               C
I'm a hummingbird    Beautiful and free
