Вступление
[Intro]
D Bb D Bb
[Verse 1]
D Bb D Bb D
I don't want to be the old maple tree
D Bb A D
That used to stand outside my window
D Bb D Bb D
Strong on the outside, rotting from the inside
D
Hushed debate on when I finally go
[Chorus 1]
G D Bb A D
You can be a shady tree swaying in the summer breeze For a hundred seasons
G A
Till all they see is a liability and they start searching for the reasons
Bb A D
To cut you down
[Verse 2]
D Bb D Bb D
I don't want to be the man, telephone in his hand
D Bb A D
Waiting to make that fatefull call
D Bb D Bb D
Wringing those hands that never worked the land
D
Instead going straight to the saw
[Chorus 2]
G D Bb A D
How many times could you have tried to stop the rot before it took root
G A
But in your absence you convince your conscience its in the tree's best interest too
Bb A D
To cut it down
[Verse 3]
D Bb D Bb D
I dont want to be the guy, chainsaw at his side
D Bb A D
That came to the yard on that day
D Bb D Bb D
To do the dirty work, that other's gladly shirked
D
It'd be inconvenient any other way
[Chorus 3]
G D Bb A D
I want to water the ground let it seep way down and fortify the roots that run deep
G A
And if I fall flat I pray the lord that they call me on my hypocricy
Bb A D
And cut me down
