DG They built this house from tall timber DA Cut it down in the mountain air DG Building dreams in the city DA Kept on going till the hills were bare DG Came along with their axes DG Brought their trucks and chainsaws too DA And they cut down all the tall tall timber GAA2 Tall timber for me and you
DG She was a young girl she was a hero DA Stood on the stage the people cheered DG But the critics cut her down to zero DA Because she sang the words that they all feared DG And they came with their axes DG They brought their knives and opinions too DA And they cut her down like tall tall timber GA Tall timber in the mountain dew
CHORUS G2D2A2 Please don't cut down the tall timber G2D2A2 Let it grow tall straight and true G2D2A2 In this world we need tall tall timber G2D2A2 Tall timber like me and you
DG He was a young man with a dream DA To bring freedom to his land DG Shared his voice with his brothers DA In those chinese streets he made a stand DG And they came with their soldiors DG They brought their tanks and machine guns too DA And the cut down all the tall tall timber GA Tall timber like me and you
CHORUS x 2
[GDA] x 4
G2A2 The Redgum and the Kauri G2A2 The Eucalypt and Pine G2A2 The poets and the painters D2 The thinkers of our time E2 Don't cut down the timber G2 Or we'll be forever poor D2 Don't kill off our heroes or A2 We'll never win the war
SOLO
DG Now the sun's so strong it burns my eyes DA The air's so bad that I can't breath DG The winter's warmer the summer's hotter DA I drive for miles I don't see trees DG And they came with their axes DG They brought their knives and chainsaws too DA And they cut down all the tall tall timber GA Tall timber in the mountain dew
