         OAK TREE

INTRO:
G F#m G Bm D G Bm D A

VERSE:
A    G     Bm    D
In the shade of an old oak tree,
      G    Bm    D
I had the selfish idea to go back to sleep.
    G     Bm     D
But I fought every urge and I sat still
         A  A
And hoped to be free.


VERSE:
 A    G     Bm        D
All the lies that I tell - they come back to me.
   G     Bm       D
In a wake of regret that could sober me.
    G      Bm      D         A   A
And redemption it came with the sun and the summer breeze.


CHORUS:
     G   A  D     Bm
Oh, I'd like to be out on the road,
 G     A    D       Bm
With my guitar and one change of clothes.
     G   A  D
And I'd like to be whole.


INSTRUMENTAL:
D D A A F#m D D A A


VERSE:
 A   G    Bm     D
Last night I thought of calling you.
     G      Bm      D
But the notion wore thin when I heard the tune,
    G    Bm       D        A
That brought me back to those times in Lacey's room.


CHORUS:
     G   A  D     Bm
Oh, I'd like to be out on the road,
 G     A    D       Bm
With my guitar and one change of clothes.
     G   A
And I'd like to be


BREAK:
 G       Bm      A
Somewhere my thoughts can breathe,
   G       D   A
And troubles don't follow me.
   G     Bm  A       G
The heavy ship goes down with the sea,
  Bm      G     A
bBut my load is light and free.


OUTRO:
