Suzzy And Maggie Roche - A Day In The Life Of A Tree

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]

Feel the wind burn through my skin
C G
The pain, the air is killing me

For years my limbs stretched to the sky
Am C G
A nest for birds to sit and sing

[Verse 2]
C D Em
But now my branches suffer
G Am
And my leaves don't bear the glow
C G
They did so long ago

[Verse 3]
C G C G
One day I was full of life
C D G
My sap was rich and I was strong
C G
From seed to tree I grew so tall
C D G
Through wind and rain I could not fall

[Verse 4]
C D Cm Em
But now my branches suffer
C G Am
And my leaves don't offer
D G
Poetry to men of song

[Verse 5]
C
Trees like me weren't meant to live
G C
If all this world can give
G
Pollution and slow death

[Verse 6]

Oh, lord, I lay me down
Am G
There's no life to be found

There's nothing left for a tree like me
