Intro: G 

 G 
If I were a tree I'd shake you off, 
   C 
Who needs all those dying leaves? 
  G 
I'd follow my roots to the underground, 
    C 
Drink wine with all the thieves. 

G 

 G 
If I were a tree I'd give you wood, 
      C 
Make you a dendrophiliac. 
    G 
I'd have a laugh because I could; 
        C 
Oh, my knots and twists are not for that.

    C                                   G 
Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong 
        Gm            F            G 
In the winter when my limbs are so bare 
    C                                   G 
Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong 
        Gm            F            G  
In the winter when my limbs are so bare 

G 

   G 
If I were a tree I would age so the well; 
    C 
I'd watch the years paint on your face. 
 G 
Follow my roots to the underground, 
           C 
Watch you disappear without a trace...trace.

Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong,

In the winter when my limbs are so bare.

In the winter when my limbs are so bare.

In the winter when my limbs are so bare.

In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
