C minorCm Bb majorBb
Bitter branches
C minorCm Bb majorBb
spreading out.
C minorCm Bb majorBb
There's none more bitter
C minorCm Bb majorBb
than the wood.
G minorGm    AbAb
Into the wide world,
G minorGm AbAb
it grows,
C minorCm Bb majorBb
twisting under
C minorCm Bb majorBb
soldier's feet,
C minorCm Bb majorBb
standing in line
C minorCm Bb majorBb
and the damp earth underneath.
G minorGm    AbAb
Holding up their rifles
G minorGm AbAb
high,
G minorGm       AbAb
holding their young wives
G minorGm    AbAb
who wave goodbye.

C minorCm Bb majorBb
Hold up the clear glass
C minorCm Bb majorBb
to look and see
C minorCm Bb majorBb
soldiers standing
C minorCm Bb majorBb
and the roots twist underneath.
G minorGm    AbAb
Their young wives with white hands
G minorGm    AbAb
wave goodbye.
G minorGm    AbAb
Their arms as bitter branches
G minorGm    AbAb
spreading into the world.
C minorCm Bb majorBb
Wave goodbye,
G minorGm    AbAb
Wave goodbye.
