Feed the Tree

This old man I've talked about[[G]]

Broke his own heart, poured it in the ground[[C9]] [G,C9,[G]]

Big red tree grew up and out[[G]]

Throwing up its leaves, spins 'round and 'round[[C9]] [G,C9,G,G,[C9]]

I know all this and more[[A]]

So take your hat off when you're talking to me[[G]]

And be there when I feed the tree[[C9]]

This little squirrel that I used to be[[G]]

Slammed her bike down the stairs[[C9]][G,C9,[G]]

They put silver where her teeth had been[[G]]

Baby, silvertooth, she grins and grins[[C9]] [G,C9,G,G,[C9]]

I know all this and more[[A]]

So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[[G]]

And be there when I feed the tree[[C9]]

Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[[G]]

Be there when I feed the tree[[C9]]

This old man I used to be[[G]]

Spins around, around, around, the tree[[C9]] [G,C9,[G]]

Silver, baby, come to me[[G]]

I'll only hurt you in my dreams[[C9]] [G,C9,G,G,[C9]]

I know all this and... I know all this and...[A,[A]]

I know all this and more[[A]]

So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[[G]]

And be there when I feed the tree[[C9]]

Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[[G]]

And be there when I feed the tree[[C9]]

[same as intro, end with four quick G's]
