THE PINE TREE

A                       G           D            A
I lean my back against you thinkin' you were an oak
             G                        D                  A
I knew the wind could bent you but I can't believe you broke
                          G                  D     A
Now the wind could never break me only your false love
                  G              D     A
Honey I've been true I swear by God above

                        G        D                 A
I thought you were a willow but you never wept for me
                           G              D                  A
You went roamin' in the wildwood like a ship that roams the see
                      G            D                   A
The willow tree is fickle and it weeps in the morning dew
                   G                               D       A
My love is a pine tree cause that's the only tree that's true

            G            D            A
If I was mistaken then take my eyes away
                         G                  D              A
You made a bed in the wildwood and that's where I saw you lay
                          G                 D           A
Honey your eyes deceived you it's true I touched the ground
              G             D                      A
But I never slept there I never let my long hair down mhm

                 G          D                     A
Love is like a thorn bush touch it and you will find
                     G                     D               A
You'll prick your fingers and leave the sweetest flower behind
G                D                A
Love oh love oh what you done to me
                G                  D        A
You set me a driftin' like a ship upon the sea

        G                  D                     A
Yes a ship there is I see you and you belong to me
                 G                D          A
My love is the ocean and deeper love cannot be
                           G                  D        A
Yeah well I guess I was mistaken and woman I want you back
           G                                  D       A
You never have left my heart now honey baby that's a fact

G                            D          A
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
       G                           D       A
We'll put our roots down in each other's heart
G                            D          A
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
       G                           D       A
We'll put our roots down in each other's heart
