As recorded by Elton John (1968 recording from the 2021 Album REGIMENTAL SGT. ZIPPO) [Intro] G Am C [Chorus]
    G              Am
The angel tree has grown so high

        C                 G
And its roots are planted deep

                 Am
Never climb that willow

           C              G
'Cause its trunk is awful steep

         Am       Bm    Em D
Yeah the trunk is awful steep
[Verse 2]
G           F
Seven miles south of the city

C              G
Way on a windy hill

    C                         G
The whistling branches of the angel tree

    A                   C    D
Are calm at the evening still

G
Magical coolness calms the breeze

       C                     G
As the leaves talk freely at will

    C                        G
And strange things happen to people

       A7              C  D
Who go on to the windy hill
[Chorus]
    G              Am
The angel tree has grown so high

        C                 G
And its roots are planted deep

                 Am
Never climb that willow

           C              G
'Cause its trunk is awful steep

         Am       Bm    Em D
Yeah the trunk is awful steep
[Bridge]
Bm
Men down here have gone up there

    Em
And rested underneath her bough

Bm
They slept long, what is wrong

     A              D
They never woke up again
[Chorus]
    G              Am
The angel tree has grown so high

        C                 G
And its roots are planted deep

                 Am
Never climb that willow

           C              G
'Cause its trunk is awful steep

         Am       Bm    Em D
Yeah the trunk is awful steep
[Outro]
G      Am       C     G
Lalala-lalala-lalalalala

    Am     C          G
Lalala-lalala-lalalalala, lalala-lalala

         Am       Bm    Em D
Yeah the trunk is awful steep

G      Am       C     G
Lalala-lalala-lalalalala

    Am     C          G
Lalala-lalala-lalalalala, lalala-lalala

         Am       Bm    Em D
Yeah the trunk is awful steep
