Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

Dm

Verse 1:

Dm           C      Bb       F
Hunted down, I came upon
Eb                   Dm
A place of ferns and grass
         C           Bb
Gathered to a redbud tree
    Eb                 Dm
And now their footsteps pass
        C        Bb        F
Where I crouch in dread
        Eb           Dm
Discovery my certain death
            C             Bb       F
Her leaves reaching for my head
      Eb        Dm
As I suspend my breath

Chorus:
       F             Gm          D
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
       Gm            C           D
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

Those days of fear are gone

My lovely protector
