If I Were A Tree

Intro: G

 G
If I were a tree I'd shake you off,
   C
Who needs all those dying leaves?
  G
I'd follow my roots to the 
underground,
    C
Drink wine with all the thieves.

G

 G
If I were a tree I'd give you wood,
      C
Make you a dendrophiliac.
    G
I'd have a laugh because I could;
        C
Oh, my knots and twists are not for 
that.

Uproot me from the ground and plant
     G
 me somewhere I belong
        Gm            F            
In the winter when my limbs are so

bare

   G
If I were a tree I would age so the 
well;
    C
I'd watch the years paint on your 
face.
 G
Follow my roots to the underground,
           C
Watch you disappear without a 
trace...trace.
