[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em7 We split folks into groups of threes and name them after kinds of trees. Am Dsus2 It’s how I like to look at folks: As willow trees, or pines or oaks. G Em7 Willows are forgettable, they could be called a weed C/G Am Dsus2 And time with them’s regrettable: they’ll suck you dry when you’re in need. G Em7 They burst your pipes, and then their switches might be used to bust your britches. C/G Willows aren’t my kind of tree. Am Dsus2 They’re not a source of love for me.
[Verse 2]
G Em7 We split folks into groups of threes and name them after kinds of trees. Am Dsus2 It’s how I like to look at folks: As willow trees, or pines or oaks. G Em7 Pines give off a wondrous smell and they’re green throughout the year C/G Am Dsus2 Make a bed of needles soft as hell and bolster christmas cheer. G Em7 You bust their bark and they get sticky, embracing one is often tricky. C/G They’re lonely and that’s what ain’t for me. Am Dsus2 I need to love a stronger tree.
[Verse 3]
G Em7 We split folks into groups of threes and name them after kinds of trees. Am Dsus2 It’s how I like to look at folks: As willow trees, or pines or oaks. G Em7 And so we find the able oak who changes colors, loses leaves. C/G Am Strength and patience ain’t no joke; that’s what this man believes. G Em7 I build a house, I build a chair, a table, bed, from that tree there. C/G An oak grows slowly and provides. Am Dsus2 It’s with an oak my love resides. Am Dsus2 It’s with an oak my love resides. Am F It’s with an oak my love resides.
