Old Man Tree

2X F C D# A#


[Verse 1]

F                     C
I met a man who was a tree
D#                   A#
Did I see him or he see me?
F                       C
Standing there majestically
D#           A#
Tree and me...
F                       C
The smell of sun on autumn leaves
D#                              
He said take good care of all you 
A#
see
F                           C
Praise the earth down on your knees
D#                              A#
That's what the old man sang to me


[Chorus]

He sang
F   C         D#   A#
Heya Heya Hey
F   C         D#   A#
Heya Heya hey


[Verse 2]

F               C
Life left you a broken boy, man
    D#                  A#
To fight the war an angry young man
F                       C
Now it's time to be a shaman
D#                          A#
Take these wings and learn to fly 
man
F                      C
I lost my grip and took a trip
D#                            A#
On a magic mushroom rocket ship
F                       C
I Rode the waves and didn't flip
D#                           A#
The rainbow-flavoured astral trip


[Chorus]

F   C         D#   A#
Heya Heya Hey

[Verse 3]

A#                              Dm
The words they flow like melody
C                              F
Through gnarly old man/tree and me
       A#                     Dm
From root to bone from him to me
        C                          
Just like the river to the sea
   F

        A#              Dm
Now I am he as tree is me
      C                          F
And I'm not here and so is he
         A#                      Dm
'Cause in my mind I'm always free
       C
Just like tree that sang to me


[Chorus]

F                        C
The first shall never be the last
          D#                    A#
There is no future and no past
     F                    C
Put brother Flame to sister Grass
        D#              A#
Let's celebrate the Pagan mass
