Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Soon we'll count the rings
inside [G]all one by [D]one
[A]Wondering if I could [D]point to the place
[A]Where we first slept 'neath
it's [D]branches[F]
[G]Oh [Gsus4]oh[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Leaves once rose like an ocean
we swam [G]when we [D]were boys
[A]This one was all things a
[D]mansion a fortress
An[A]d as we matured it was
[D]shade for[F]
[Gsus4]The secrets that we [G]passed along

[Verse 3]
[D]But [G]this oak has grown
[F]old wither- wrung
[G]It threatens to fal[F]l
[G]Better for us if the [F]axe splits

[Verse 4]
the trunk they say
[D]On your tip toes a ten- penny nail
jutting [G]high in [D]the bark
[A]Relics of tree houses [D]built
and torn down
[A]Places we hid after [D]dark oh[F]
[Gsus4]Oh oh[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Please please lend some belief
to this [G]hard [F]wasted [D]ground
Where [A]little green soldiers
and [D]Indians fought
[A]This is [D]the burial mound [F]of
My [G]youth [Gsus4]and my in[G]nocence
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
This oak has grown [F]old wither- wrung
[G]It threatens to fal[F]l
Bet[G]ter for us if the [F]axe splits the trunk they say
