The Trees

Tom: D 
Intro: D  F#m  C#m  A  E  G  A  Bm  A/Bm Bm 

       D                F#m 
There is unrest in the forest, 
       C#m                   A 
There is trouble with The Trees, 
      E                      G 
For the Maples want more sunlight 
A       Bm    A/Bm         Bm 
And the Oaks ignore their pleas. 
D  F#m  C#m  A  E  G  A  Bm  A/Bm Bm 
D   A   Bm 
F#m   G 
   A                     Bm 
The trouble with the maples 
         G           D                 A 
and they're quite convinced they're right 
                               Bm 
they say the Oaks are just too lofty 
        G          D       A 
and they grab up all the light 
                                 Bm 
but the Oaks can't help their feelings 
     G         D                A 
If they like the way they're made 
         F#m 
And they wonder why the maples 
         G 
Can't be happy in their shade 
A   A/G A/F# A/E 
        D 
There is trouble 
        F#m 
In the forest 
       C#m                    A 
And the creatures all have fled 
          E 
while the maples 
        G             A 
scream "Opression" 
     Bm         A/Bm         Bm 
and the oaks just shake  their heads 
D  F#m  C#m  A  E  G  A  Bm  A/Bm Bm 
Solo 
    A                       Bm 
So the maples formed a union 
   G           D      A 
and demanded equal rights 
  A                         Bm 
"The Oaks are just too greedy; 
     G               D         A 
We will make them give us light." 
                            Bm 
Now there's no more Oak opression 
    G           D       A 
for they passed a noble law 
      F#m 
and the trees are all kept equal 
 G                     A 
by hatchet, axe, and saw.
