Bb  Gm  Bb  Gm


Verse 1:
Bb            Gm          Bb                        Gm
On my way the other day a strange thing happened to me
  Bb                 Gm                   D#                   F
I blinked my eye and what did I spy but a girl sitting up in a tree


Pre-Chorus:
       D#                 F
I said come on down cause now you're found
        D#                     F
there's no one around and it's nice on the ground

Chorus:
           B                         C#
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
        B                   C#
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
F#
  Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
                     C#
branches clinging to me-ee-ee.


Post-Chorus:
F                                 Bb   Gm  Bb  Gm
  I said come on down out of that tree


Verse 2:
Bb                Gm             Bb                Gm
Leaves made lace around her face   peeking down at me
  Bb                 Gm                  D#                    F
I wondered why she'd climb so high right up in the top of that tree


Pre-Chorus:
       D#                 F
I said come on down cause now you're found
            D#                     F
And there's no one around and it's nice on the ground


Chorus:
           B                         C#
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
        B                   C#
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
F#
  Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
                     C#
branches clinging to me-ee-ee.


Post-Chorus:
F                                 Bb   F#  B  G#m  B  G#m
  I said come on down out of that tree


Verse 3:
B               G#m                 B                      G#m
Darkness fell I fell as well when I heard her sweet call to me
B                      G#m           E                           F#
Right then I knew what I had to do I started climbing up in that tree


Pre-Chorus:
    E                   F#
And now I found I don't want to get down
         E                     F#
I dont't miss the ground while she's around


Chorus:
      C                     D
We're way up here where the air is clear
        C                   D
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
G
  Crickets calling breeze hushing stars blinking
                                   D
moon wakin nightingale singing and we-ee-ee


Post-Chorus:
F#                                           B    G#m  B  G#m
  have a heaven up in this treehouse in this tree


Outro:
