Way up in the mountains on the high timberline
G Dm G Am
there's a twisted old tree called the bristle cone pine
F Am G Am
the wind there it's bitter and cut's like a knife
G Dm G Am Em Am F7M
And keeps that tree holdin on for dear life
Hold on it does stand in it's ground

Now the way I have lived there aint no way to tell
F C G
when I die if I'm goin' to heaven or hell
F C G Am
so when I'm laid to rest it'll suite me just fine
F7M G Am
to sleep at the feet of the Bristle Cone Pine
As I would slowly return to this earth
