[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]
