Key: C
Introduction: Dm F Am G
G C E Am
For seven years I've stood right here
Dm F G
And the flowers grow green by day
G C E Am
All for the yarns that I was told
Dm Bb Dm Am
I spread my arms when they grew cold
Dm F C
And warded off the rain
(chorus)
C G
The bigger the tree, the deeper the root
F C
The grass that is trodden underfoot
Am
Give it time
Dm F C
And it'll surely rise again
Dm F Am G
(verso 2)
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
