Boys In The Trees chords by Carly Simon

Boys In The Trees - From Boys In The Trees - 1978

G
I'm home again in my old narrow bed
G
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
C
The low beam room with the window looking out
         Cmaj7
On the soft summer garden
           Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees

G

Here I grew guilty
G
And no one was at fault
Em
Frightened by the power
G
In every innocent thought
C
And the silent understanding passing down
 Cmaj7
From daughter to daughter
Bm
Let the boys grow in the trees

G
Do you go to them
G
Or do you let them come to you
Em
Do you stand in back
G
Afraid that you'll intrude
C
Deny yourself and hope someone will see
  Cmaj7
And live like a flower
Bm
While the boys grow in the trees

G
Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire
Em
Tonight I lie alone again
        G
And I curse my own desires
C
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
 Cmaj7
And watch by the window
Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees
Em
Boys in the trees
