Boys In The Trees - From Boys In The Trees - 1978
Em                   G
I'm home again in my old narrow bed

Em                        G
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end

F#m7                         Bm            C
The low beam room with the window looking out

         G            Cmaj7
On the soft summer garden

           F#m7              Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees

Em             G
Here I grew guilty

Em               G
And no one was at fault

Em                  
Frightened by the power

G
In every innocent thought

F#m7                     Bm            C
And the silent understanding passing down

 G            Cmaj7
From daughter to daughter

F#m7              Bm
Let the boys grow in the trees

Em            G
Do you go to them

Em            G
Or do you let them come to you

Em            
Do you stand in back

G
Afraid that you'll intrude

F#m7                     Bm          C
Deny yourself and hope someone will see

  G            Cmaj7
And live like a flower

F#m7              Bm
While the boys grow in the trees

Em                      G
Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire

Em                    
Tonight I lie alone again

        G
And I curse my own desires

F#m7                     Bm            C
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze

 G            Cmaj7
And watch by the window

F#m7              Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees

F#m7              Bm    Gmaj9  Em
Boys in the trees
