A Day in the Life of a Tree The Beach Boys
D [cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7
Feel the wind burn through my skin
Em7/D [cb]A7/D[/cb] D
The pain, the air is killing me
D [cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
Em7/D [cb]A7/D[/cb] D
A nest for birds to sit and sing
But no[G]w my br[A7]anches [A#dim]suffer [Bm]and my le[D7]aves don't bear the g[Em]low
F#m [cb]Em7/G[/cb] A7 D
They did so long ago
D [cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7
One day I was full of life
Em7/D [cb]A7/D[/cb] D
My sap was rich and I was strong
D [cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Em7/D [cb]A7/D[/cb] D
Through wind and rain I could not fall
But n[G]ow my bra[A7]nches s[A#dim]uffer a[Bm]nd my le[D7]aves don't offer[Em]
F#m [cb]Em7/G[/cb] A7 D
Poetry to men of song
D [cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this world can give
[cb]A7/D[/cb] D
Is pollution and slow death
[cb]F#m/D[/cb] F Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down no life's left to be found
[cb]A7/D[/cb] D
There's nothing left for me
(D) [cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this earth can give
[cb]A7/D[/cb] D
Is pollution
[cb]F#m/D[/cb] Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down my branches to the ground
[cb]A7/D[/cb] D
There's nothing left for me
