D MajorD F#F# C# minorC#m A augmentedA
There is unrest in the forest; there is trouble with the trees
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
For the Maples want more sunlight and the Oaks ignore their pleas
D MajorD F#F# C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm F#F# G+G
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
The trouble with the Maples and they're quite convinced they're right
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
They say the Oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light.
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
But the Oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made
F#F# G+G A augmentedA G+G F#F# E MajorE
And they wonder why the Maples can't be happy in their shade
D MajorD F#F# C# minorC#m A augmentedA
There is trouble in the forest, and the creatures all have fled
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
as the Maples scream Oppression and the Oaks just shake their heads
D MajorD F#F# C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
(it goes into a bunch of craziness here in 5/4 time that I'm going to leave out.
Instead I play the D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm F#F# G+G progression again)
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
So the Maples formed a union and demanded equal rights
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
These Oaks are just too greedy, we will make them give us light
A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Now there's no more Oak oppression, for they passed a noble law
F#F# G+G A augmentedA
