I am a Pohutukawa seed
E
Plant me in the ground and water me
A
Plenty of sunshine is what I need
E
Then guess what you
A
will see?
A
Out will shoot a tiny twig
E
And it will continue to grow so big
A
Beautiful flowers of whero
E A
The native tree of Aotearoa.
D
Pohutukawa tree,
A
pohutukawa tree
E7
New Zealand’s
A
Christmas tree
D
You fill my heart with
A
aroha
E7
The native tree of
A
Aotearoa.
