Great Song, Great Album.

G                                C

I will tell all the crooked worms in my grave

          D

Save the eyes

C

Save the eyes

G                                        C

I will cover all the winding paths on which you pave

D

Fallen sky

C

Fallen sky

C         C/G             C/G   G     Em

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

C          D                   G

If I donà­t chop down, donà­t chop it down

G                                               C

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

D

Until ità­s dry

C

Until ità­s dry

G                                C

And I will let all the hundred faces in the street

D

Pass me by

C

Pass me by



C              C/G

But if you wanna sell away your sorrows

C/G    G        Em

Then save   some for me

Em                                   D

I will keep them from growing in the ground

C         C/G             C/G   G     D

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

C             D                G

If I donà­t chop it down, donà­t 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 donà­t chop it down, donà­t chop it down

And if I tie up my troubles to the old birch

If I donà­t chop it down, donà­t chop it down

If I donà­t chop it down, donà­t chop it down
