The Beach Boys – A Day In The Life Of A Tree (Ukulele)

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#dim  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#dim  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

(D)         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
