[Verse 1]
D G
Bless me, Lord
Em G D Em G
I'm only after what you promised me
D G Em G
So break me, Lord, and with the pieces
D Em G
make another tree
D Em G
Make another tree
D Em G
He spoke to me
D Em G
He spoke to me
[Chorus]
A G
He said, "Take only that which you can carry on your back
A G D
Just leave the children in the yard and in time,
Em D
they'll gladly turn to dust."
[Verse 2]
D G Em G
Let me lay here in the grass
D Em G
All eternity
D G Em G
Let the wind and rain consume me
D Em G
Then I will be free
D Em G
I will be free
D Em G
I want it now
D Em G
I want it now
[Chorus]
A G
So, "Take only that which you can carry on your back
A G D
Just leave the children in the yard and in time,
Em D
they'll gladly turn to dust."
Em G
And if they handed me the gold,
D G
I'd slap it from their hands
Em G
Then I'd kiss and mourn the sheep
A
That can't understand
A
They won't understand
[Verse 3]
D G
Bless me, Lord
Em G D Em G
I'm only after what you promised me
D G Em G
So break me lord and with the pieces
D Em G
make another tree
D Em G
Make another tree
D Em G
Make another tree
