[Verse 1]
COnce in my youth I Fstood on a Cmountain
And planted some G7pines in the Csand
Every day I'd Flook their Cway
But I just couldn't G7underCstand
[Verse 2]
Why they G7never grew like
I Fwanted them Cto
I D7just couldn't understand G7why
Now I've Crambled around
This Fwhole world Cthrough
And today G7I just happened Cby
[Chorus]
Tall pines tall Fpines
CReaching up for the G7clouds
Tall Cpines tall Fpines
I'll Cbet you wouldn't G7know me Cnow
[Verse 3]
I'll never forget the Fmorning I Cleft
The hum of the G7bees in the Chay
The farther I walked
The Flouder they Ctalked
How silent it G7seems there Ctoday
[Verse 4]
There's the G7old rail fence
We Fbuilt inch by Cinch
D7Surrounding the old family G7graves
And there's Cone red stone
FStanding all Calone
There waitin' to G7meet me in the Cshade
[Chorus]
Tall pines tall Fpines
CReaching up for the G7clouds
Tall Cpines tall Fpines
I'll Cbet you wouldn't G7know me Cnow
[Outro]
Tall pines tall Fpines
CReaching up for the G7clouds
Tall Cpines tall Fpines
I've come Chome to G7sleep beneath Fyour G7pineCs

[Verse 1]

C F C

Once in my youth I stood on a mountain

And planted some pines in the sand

Every day I'd look their way

But I just couldn't understand

[Verse 2]

Why they never grew like

F C

I wanted them to

D7 G7

I just couldn't understand why

Now I've rambled around

This whole world through

G7 C

And today I just happened by

[Chorus]

Tall pines tall pines

Reaching up for the clouds

Tall pines tall pines

C G7 C

I'll bet you wouldn't know me now

[Verse 3]

F C

I'll never forget the morning I left

G7 C

The hum of the bees in the hay

The farther I walked

The louder they talked

How silent it seems there today

[Verse 4]

There's the old rail fence

We built inch by inch

D7 G7

Surrounding the old family graves

And there's one red stone

F C

Standing all alone

There waitin' to meet me in the shade

Reaching up for the clouds
