I often sit alone up in a tree

C

waving to the ones that wave at me

| D | G5/D |

  C                   E

I think well just how stupid can 
they be

| Dm | Ddim/G# |

G7          G           C

waving to a man up in a tree

C

what they don't know is I am 
counting them

  C

Continues after the ad
I even count the ladies and the men

| D | G5/D |

  C               E

I put the numbers in my little book

| Dm | Ddim/G# |

    G7          G           C

and only me can ever have a look

F              Em

all I ask is a piece of mind

        G7                         

     C

which I lost somewhere down amongst 
the mess

D

all I want is for people to be kind

         Dm                        

     G

and walk slower to be counted when 
they pass

| C | D | G5/D |

C                     E

I think well just how stupid can 
they be

| Dm | Ddim/G# |

G7          G           C

waving to a man up in a tree

C

I know that I will have to stop my 
fun

C

when I meet a girl who I can not 
count on

| D | G5/D |

C                   E

maybe marry her and happy we would 
be

| Dm | Ddim/G# |

    G7                G            C

not counting but just sitting up a 
tree

  C               E

I put the numbers in my little book

| Dm | Ddim/G# |

    G7          G           C

and only me can ever have a look

  C                   E

they be
