If I were a tree I'd shake you off,
   C
Who needs all those dying leaves?
  G

    C
Drink wine with all the thieves.

If I were a tree I'd give you wood,
      C
Make you a dendrophiliac.

Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong

In the winter when my limbs are so bare
    C                                   G

In the winter when my limbs are so bare

If I were a tree I would age so the well;
    C

Follow my roots to the underground,

Watch you disappear without a trace...trace.
