Gordon Lightfoot - Knotty Pine


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO:: D MajorD

VERSE 1::
           G+G
She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
Asus4Asus4      D MajorD
She cries turpentine
  G+G         Asus4Asus4     D MajorD
Sometimes she nettles me but I don't mind
A minorAm      G+G
Only now and then
FF         G+G        D MajorD
When her branches bend beneath the snow

VERSE 2::
            G+G
She's knotty but nice, reaching for the sky
Asus4Asus4         D MajorD
She don't like snow or ice
  G+G          Asus4Asus4     D MajorD
To leave things as they stand is my advice
A minorAm         G+G
She's been good to me
FF      G+G        D MajorD    Gmaj7Gmaj7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD
So I tend to go there when I can


VERSE 3::
           G+G
She's my knotty pine, such a pretty scene
Asus4Asus4      D MajorD
She tries to be kind
G+G         Asus4Asus4       D MajorD
She gives birds a home and shelters them
A minorAm       G+G
In her coat of green
FF         G+G       D MajorD
She's as green as evergreen can be


VERSE 4::
              G+G
She's a real delight, when little breezes call
  Asus4Asus4     D MajorD
To ruffle up her skin
G+G         Asus4Asus4       D MajorD
All her sap runs free and sticks to me
A minorAm       G+G
Hidden deep within
FF       G+G      D MajorD
I will be her slave eternally

INSTRUMENTAL:: Gmaj7Gmaj7  Asus4Asus4  D MajorD  G/AG/A  Asus4Asus4 D MajorD


VERSE 5::
           G+G
She's my knotty pine, sunlight in her hair
Asus4Asus4    D MajorD
By the serpentine
    G+G          Asus4Asus4  D MajorD
Though she is independent, I don't mind
A minorAm      G+G
Standing over there
FF        G+G      D MajorD
Just beyond that maple on the right


VERSE 6::
              G+G
She's knotty but wise, she holds her anger in
Asus4Asus4      D MajorD
Trees are her disguise
G+G        Asus4Asus4     D MajorD
Cones are taking root before my eyes
A minorAm        G+G
Find them if you can
 FF          G+G         D MajorD    Gmaj7Gmaj7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD
Among her boughs she keeps them out of sight


INSTRUMENTAL:: D MajorD  G+G  Asus4Asus4 D MajorD A minorAm G+G FF G+G  Asus4Asus4 D MajorD


VERSE 7::
           G+G
She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
Asus4Asus4      D MajorD
She cries turpentine
  G+G         Asus4Asus4     D MajorD
Sometimes she nettles me but I don't mind
A minorAm      G+G
Only now and then
FF         G+G        D MajorD
When her branches bend beneath the snow
