Here are the chords:
Intro:  E-  A-  C#m-   F#mx2
If tEhey tell me that the bees

Then wC#mhat am I supposed to tell F#myou
And if they tEell me that the ocean

ETree tops they toAuch the ground
C#mIn the morning walk wF#mith no sound
Hear no biErds, hear no plaAnes
Through the mC#mud, feel the cF#mlay
