Old Birch Tree

          A
I will tell all the crooked worms in my grave
                    E/B                  A
To save the eyes, save the eyes
                A
And I will cover all the winding paths on which you pave
            E/B               A
Fallen skies, fallen skies

             D                 A                  A  G#m  F#m
And if I tie up my troubles to the old birch tree
               D                  E/B                          A
And if I don't chop it down, don't chop it down


(Now strum chords normally)

                   A
And I will throw all the stones in the shore at the restless sea
            E/B             A
Till it's dry, till it's dry

Continues after the ad
                 A
And I will let all the hundred faces in the street
             E/B                A
Pass me by, pass me by

                              D                       A
And if you wanna sell away your sorrows
          A     G#m      F#m
Then save some for me
                                                            E/B
I will keep them from growing in the ground

              D                A                  A   G#m  F#m
And if I tie up my troubles to the old birch tree
               D                 E/B                           A
And if I don't chop it down, don't chop it down

                              D                       A

          A     G#m      F#m
Then save some for me
                                                            E/B
