IF a tree does not like where it took root, tough luck! It cannot move to a better location. It can only die, wait to be killed or accept its situation and make the best of it.

 

Trees are found on the “that guy” album.

Trees

When the World gets unbearably screwed up, remember this: Like a tree, there is no escaping the when and where you have life. Yes, you can do certain things to avoid heartache but to some degree, accept your lot in life. Be a tree.

Second observation: The chords used in the this song’s verses are ‘a bit’ complex in name but sensible as they can be in fact. I won’t explain here.

E                      Emaj7sus2\D#
I know you are crying
B9sus4\C#         B add(4)
By the tears in your eyes
B9sus4\A           E\G#
The World’s let you down again
E9sus4\F#          B add(4)   B9sus4\C#
So, a word from the wise

Every tree’s alive
In just one place, one time
No escape, no different
Than your life or mine

Some are majestic and
Some are weak and will fall
Some will live for centuries
Some have no time at all.

Just to be here
To be kissed by today
Is the blessing that is life
Let the rest fade away

A7                    B7
Be a tree, my darling
Bsus4                B7
Cast your eyes to the stars
E\B                   A7
You have just this moment  
B6                    E
To be who you are

Instrumental Verse

See the World clearly
From where you stand
Spread your shade where you can
Leave the rest in God’s hands

Be a tree, darling
Cast your eyes to the stars
Now is your moment 
So, love who you are

So, love who you are
