Verse 1:
        Amaj7Amaj7          F#F#        B9B9          E7E7
Sittin' in the shade of a tree that was meant for me    a little tired from sun and
         C#m7C#m7           D MajorD         C#m7C#m7          F#7F#7
Sittin' there to feel the breeze  and the mem - o - ries    I let my thoughts go run-nin'
B minorBm        E MajorE             A augmentedA   B minorBm  C# minorC#m D MajorD   E MajorE D#D# D MajorD
     No major discov’ries      I  just  let my - self ri_ - _de     Why was I
Bm7Bm7         E7E7   Amaj7Amaj7
so  at ease?   I can't decide…

Verse 2:
          Amaj7Amaj7         F#F#     B9B9        E7E7
Sittin' 'neath the tree idly  That was so shady    I let myself envision
        C#m7C#m7             D MajorD      C#m7C#m7         F#7F#7
Thinkin' of the dreams and the scenes I could see for me    And what was my decision?
 B minorBm           E MajorE             A augmentedA  B minorBm  C# minorC#m  D MajorD  E MajorE D#D# D MajorD
    I knew that the sun was out      But how long would it  shi__ne?     Soon closing
Bm7Bm7             E7E7  Amaj7Amaj7
 in,  no doubt    But I had time…


Chorus:
     B minorBm     E MajorE    C# minorC#m     F# minorF#m      B minorBm     E MajorE       A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7
And I'm  drif - tin'      No, no direction      Chasin' thought after thought__
B minorBm     E MajorE     C# minorC#m     F#7F#7     B minorBm       E MajorE      A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7
Drif - tin'      Into re - flection    And I don't want it to stop

B minorBm     E MajorE     C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m     B minorBm     E MajorE      A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7
Rol - ling       Roll with the punches    Trying to get with the scheme
                         (Rollin’ as best as  I can)
B minorBm     E MajorE      C# minorC#m      F#7F#7      B minorBm       E MajorE      A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
Rol - lin        Roll with the hunches    And somewhere there is a  theme…
                          (‘Cause somewhere there is a plain…)

Verse 3:
        Amaj7Amaj7          F#F#         B9B9          E7E7
Pickin' up the things I mislaid  While in the shade      My little visit o-ver
        C#m7C#m7         D MajorD         C#m7C#m7          F#7F#7
I step back in - to the sun   my dream - in' done    My feet dug in the clo-ver
B minorBm      E MajorE          A augmentedA  B minorBm C# minorC#m  D MajorD  E MajorE D#D# D MajorD
  As I ran down the hill   I try to catch my  mind___      But I was
Bm7Bm7               E7E7  Amaj7Amaj7
stand - in' still    'Cause it was flyin'…
