Topic: Sitting in a Tree

For some strange reason summer has taken a break in the northern Virginia area. Made me remember my summer times as a kid when I would climb up a tree and enjoy the view, breeze and maybe even an apple if I picked the right tree. While I have not climbed a tree in many years I still appreciate the idea of it so here it is in a song.

Sitting in a Tree By Jeff Gilpin


July 26, 2013




[D]Look at me sitting in a tree


Just about as happy as [A]I can [D]be


[D]Enjoying myself a cool little breeze


And the [Em]birds as they sing


And the [A]buzzing of the bees


In the [D]tree




[G]Now the bees they don’t bother me none


We have a truce and I’ll [D]tell you [G]son


[G]They’re too busy trying to get stuff done


To bother with the likes of [A]me [A7]


So [D]I’m content just sitting in the tree


I’ve got no worries to [A]bother [D]me


[D]Sitting up here just as happy as you please


While the [Em]birds sing a song


And the [A]bees buzz along


In the [D]tree


Be[G]fore too long I have to get down


But there’s so much trouble down [D]there on the [G]ground



[G]While I stay up here I can’t be found


And trouble can’t find [A]me [A7]


So [D]here I be sitting in a tree


Watching the world go [A]on around [D]me


[D]Not one soul looking up to see me


While I’m [Em]sitting up above


Like a [A]sparrow or a dove


In the [D]tree


[G]So much better than being on the ground


Where I’m sure I’d be [D]easily [G]found


[G]And we all know what rolls on down


Wouldn’t want it rolling down on [A]me [A7]


[D]So I’ll keep on sitting in a tree


Just about as happy as [A]I can [D]be


[D]Enjoying myself a nice cool breeze


And the [Em]birds as they sing


And the [A]buzzing of the bees


In the [D]tree
