[Verse 1]
C#m       Am              C#m                F#m
Old tree,    you resist        cold and heat,    wind and rain
    D#7              C#m         A             G#    G#7  C#m
And that won't be in vain 'cause I protect you now


[Verse 2]
C#m      Am                   C#m              F#m
Good man    spelled that tree     in youth and    chance at me
D#7        C#m      A             G#    G#7  C#m
All my memories are here by that tree


[Verse 3]
C#m                Am                     C#m          F#m
My momma kissed me    here in the sha..de      here too    my brother played
     D#7      C#m    A        G#  G#7  C#m
When I  was a girl,  here was my  own  world

[Verse 4]
C#m      Am                   C#m              F#m
Good man    spelled that tree     in youth and    chance at me
D#7        C#m      A             G#    G#7  C#m
All my memories are here by that tree
