G+G                C majorC

I will tell all the crooked worms in my grave

     D MajorD

Save the eyes

C majorC

Save the eyes

G+G                    C majorC

I will cover all the winding paths on which you pave

D MajorD

Fallen sky

C majorC

Fallen sky

C majorC     C/GC/G       C/GC/G  G+G   E minorEm

And if I tie up my troubles to the old  birch tree

C majorC     D MajorD          G+G

If I donít chop down, donít chop it down

G+G                        C majorC

I will throw all the stones in the shore at the raging sea,

D MajorD

Until itís dry

C majorC

Until itís dry

G+G                C majorC

And I will let all the hundred faces in the street

D MajorD

Pass me by

C majorC

Pass me by

C majorC       C/GC/G

But if you wanna sell away your sorrows

C/GC/G  G+G    E minorEm

Then save  some for me

E minorEm                  D MajorD

I will keep them from growing in the ground

C majorC     C/GC/G       C/GC/G  G+G   D MajorD

And if I tie up my troubles to the old  birch tree

C majorC       D MajorD        G+G

If I donít chop it down, donít chop down


If you wanna sell away your sorrows

Then save some for me

I will keep them from growing in the ground

If I tie up me trouble to the old birch tree

And if I donít chop it down, donít chop it down

And if I tie up my troubles to the old birch

If I donít chop it down, donít chop it down

If I donít chop it down, donít chop it down
