Ebm Ebm7 B
I swung beneath the battered trees
F# B2 B
The sunlight kissed and greeted me
Ebm Ebm7 B
It broke right through the clouded skies above
F# B2 B
Adorned the trees with shining love and
B C# Ebm C# B C# Ebm C# F# Ebm
Veils of doubt and shadows fled my eyes
Ebm
The saddest looking trees
Bbm
Broken and bruised in the fateful october's storm
G#m
Stripped of their majesty
Ebm
The storm came in the night
Bbm
It crippled this town, unannounced and unmercifully bawling
G#m
tears of wet snow
B F# C#
Though the trees cried through the night
Ebm7 C# B
There was none to cure their plight
B F# C#
And it seemed their better days
Ebm7 C# B
Would behind them, ever stay.
Bbm
Oh, Oh, Ohhh
Ebm
On that clouded day
Bbm
Years had since passed since the fury of october's storm
G#m
When I found that old swing
Ebm
They were standing high above
Bbm
The sunlight came down and revealed to my eyes such a wonder
G#m
They were bursting with life
Ebm Ebm7
Whoah No matter what storms you've seen
Bbm
No matter the broken dreams
Abm
you've yet to see mend
Ebm
Consider the the battered trees
Ebm7
Their leaves dancing in the breeze
Bbm Abm B
Recalling no memory of octobers's storm
B F# C#
Though the trees cried through the night
Ebm7 C# B
There was none to cure their plight
B F# C#
And it seemed their better days
Ebm7 C# B
Would behind them, ever stay.
