D F#m/D Em7/D D7
Feel the wind burn through my skin
Em7/D A7/D D
The pain, the air is killing me
D F#m/D Em7/D D7
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
Em7/D A7/D D
A nest for birds to sit and sing
G A7 A#º Bm D7 Em
But now my branches suffer and my leaves don't bear the glow
F#m Em7/G A7 D
They did so long ago
D F#m/D Em7/D D7
One day I was full of life
Em7/D A7/D D
My sap was rich and I was strong
D F#m/D Em7/D D7
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Em7/D A7/D D
Through wind and rain I could not fall
G A7 A#º Bm D7 Em
But now my branches suffer and my leaves don't offer
F#m Em7/G A7 D
Poetry to men of song
D F#m/D Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this world can give
A7/D D
Is pollution and slow death
F#m D F Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down no life's left to be found
A7/D D
There's nothing left for me
F#m/D Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this earth can give
A7/D D
Is pollution
F#m/D Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down my branches to the ground
A7/D D
There's nothing left for me
