Knotty Pine Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] D
[VERSE 1:]
She's my knotty pine, [G]she leans with the wind
[Asus4]She cries turpen[D]tine
Some[G]times she nettles [Asus4]me but I don't [D]mind
[Am]Only now and [G]then
[F]When her branches [G]bend beneath the [D]snow
[VERSE 2:]
She's knotty but nice, [G]reaching for the sky
[Asus4]She don't like snow or [D]ice
To [G]leave things as they [Asus4]stand is my ad[D]vice
[Am]She's been good to [G]me
[F]So I tend to [G]go there when I [D]can [Gmaj7] [Asus4] [D]
[VERSE 3:]
She's my knotty pine, [G]such a pretty scene
[Asus4]She tries to be [D]kind
[G]She gives birds a [Asus4]home and shelters [D]them
[Am]In her coat of [G]green
[F]She's as green as [G]evergreen can [D]be
[VERSE 4:]
She's a real delight, when [G]little breezes call
To [Asus4]ruffle up her [D]skin
[G]All her sap runs f[Asus4]ree and sticks to [D]me
[Am]Hidden deep with[G]in
[F]I will be her [G]slave eternal[D]ly
[INSTRUMENTAL:] Gmaj7 Asus4 D G/A Asus4 D
[VERSE 5:]
She's my knotty pine, [G]sunlight in her hair
[Asus4]By the serpen[D]tine
Though [G]she is independent, [Asus4]I don't [D]mind
[Am]Standing over [G]there
[F]Just beyond that [G]maple on the [D]right
[VERSE 6:]
She's knotty but wise, she [G]holds her anger in
[Asus4]Trees are her dis[D]guise
[G]Cones are taking [Asus4]root before my [D]eyes
[Am]Find them if you [G]can
A[F]mong her boughs she [G]keeps them out of [D]sight[Gmaj7] [Asus4] [D]
[INSTRUMENTAL:] D G Asus4 D Am G F G Asus4 D
[VERSE 7:]
She's my knotty pine, [G]she leans with the wind
[Asus4]She cries turpen[D]tine
Some[G]times she nettles [Asus4]me but I don't [D]mind
[Am]Only now and [G]then
[F]When her branches [G]bend beneath the [D]snow
[OUTRO:] D G Asus4 D Am G F G Asus4 D
