There Is A Tree chords by Carrie Newcomer

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G       Em     G

Verse:
                        C    G
Last night I dreamt you very near
                            D        Em
Though the night was dark beyond the glass
Em
I knew you'd left before I awoke
                            D        G
But you'd fogged the window when you passed

Verse:
                      C            G
The air was still and smelled like rain
                          D     Em
Though I'd never known so dry a spell
Em
And what I heard there in the dark
                       D     G
Are the secrets I will never tell

Chorus:
      C    G      D         G
There is a tree beyond this world
        C       G        D
In it's ancient roots, a song is curled
  C      G          D          Em
I am the fool whose life's been spent
               D                G
Between what's said and what is meant

Instrumental:
G       Em     G

Verse:
                   C       G
I didn't mean what went so wrong
                     D      Em
Some things I wish I didn't know
Em
I've always lived inside my head
               D   G
And often utterly alone

Verse:
                 C        G
I'll be a pillow for your head
                         D         Em
You can make me promises you can't keep
Em
And I'll believe each word you say
                    D         G
And I'll hum to you while you sleep

Chorus:
      C    G      D         G
There is a tree beyond this world
        C       G        D
In it's ancient roots, a song is curled
  C      G          D          Em
I am the fool whose life's been spent
               D                G
Between what's said and what is meant

Instrumental:
G       Em     G

Verse:
                  C       G
You took me by my shaking hand
                  D          Em
Laughed at me and closed the door
Em
And you put your hands to my waist
                             D       G
And you waltzed me round the kitchen floor

Chorus:
      C    G      D         G
There is a tree beyond this world
        C       G        D
In it's ancient roots, a song is curled
  C      G          D          Em
I am the fool whose life's been spent
               D                G
Between what's said and what is meant

Instrumental:
G       Em     G

Verse:
                 C       G
So I will wander without fail
                     D    Em
In circles that grow ever wide
Em
The sky expands and then exhales
                        D       G
With an ache that never will subside

Chorus:
      C    G      D         G
There is a tree beyond this world
        C       G        D
In it's ancient roots, a song is curled
  C      G          D          Em
I am the fool whose life's been spent
               D                G
Between what's said and what is meant

Outro:
G       Em     G
G       Em     G
