Willow Pine And Oak Chords by Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy

[Intro]

C   C   
C   C  
 
 
[Chorus]

 C
We split folks 

into groups of threes
     F
And name them 

after kinds of trees
     Dm
It's how I like 

to look at folks
    G
As willow trees, 

or pines, or oaks
 
 
[Verse]

 C
Willows are forgettable
      Am
They could be called a weed
     F
And time with them's regrettable
        Dm
They'll suck you dry 

when you're in need
 
 
[Verse]

          C
    They burst your pipes, 

and then their switches
    Am
    Might be used to 

bust your britches
F
    Willows ain't my 

kind of tree
            Dm               
    They're not a source 
    G
of love for me
 
 
[Chorus]

 C
We split folks 

into groups of threes
     F
And name them 

after kinds of trees
     Dm
It's how I like 

to look at folks
    G
As willow trees, 

or pines, or oaks
 
 
[Verse]

     C
    Pines give off a 

wondrous smell
    Am
    And they're green 

throughout the year
            F
    Make a bed of 

needles soft as hell
Dm
    And bolster 

Christmas cheer
 
 
[Verse]

     C
You bust their bark 

and they get sticky
   Am
Embracing one 

is often tricky
         F
They're lonely and 

that's what ain't for me
   Dm               
I need to love 
     G
a stronger tree
 
 
[Chorus]

 C
We split folks 

into groups of threes
     F
And name them 

after kinds of trees
     Dm
It's how I like 

to look at folks
    G
As willow trees, 

or pines, or oaks
 
 
[Verse]

         C
    And so we find 

the able oak
          Am
    Who changes colors, 

loses leaves
       F
    Strength and 

patience ain't no joke
Dm
    That's what this 

man believes
 
 
[Verse]

    C
I build a house, 

I build a chair
  Am
A table, bed, 

from that tree there
    F
An oak grows slowly 

and provides
     Dm              
It's with an oak 
    G
my love resides
 
 
[Outro]

     Dm              
It's with an oak 
    G
my love resides
      F             
It's with an oak 
   Bb
my love resides
 
 
[Outro]

C    C  
  F   F  
Dm   Dm 
  G   G
