INTRO - F#  
F#I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground
BAnd it died without a F#sound
F#Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves
And no one saw us but the F#trees
F#Yeah the trees, those useless trees
Produce the Bair that I am F#breathing
Yeah the F#trees, those useless trees
They never Bsaid that you were F#leaving
F#I carved your name with a heart just up above
BNo swollen, distorted, unrecogF#nisable; like our love
F#The smell of leaf mould and the sweetness of decay
BAre the incense at the funeral proF#cession here, today
F#In the trees, those useless trees
Produce the Bair that I am F#breathing
Yeah the F#trees, those useless trees
They never Bsaid that you were F#leaving
BYou try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
Carving your name a thousand won't bring you back to me
Oh F#no I might as well
I might as well just go tell it to the trees
G---4--10--11--8--6 (x2)
G--8--10--8--6--4
G--4s10--11
Oh yeah the F#trees, those useless trees
Produce the Bair that I am F#breathing
Yeah the F#trees, those useless trees
They never Bsaid that you were F#leaving
F#Go and tell it to the trees yeah
F#Go and tell it to the trees yeah
F#Go and tell it to the trees yeah
F#Go and tell it to the trees yeah

INTRO -

I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground

B F#

And it died without a sound

Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves

And no one saw us but the trees

Yeah the trees, those useless trees

B F#

Produce the air that I am breathing

Yeah the trees, those useless trees

B F#

They never said that you were leaving

I carved your name with a heart just up above

B F#

No swollen, distorted, unrecognisable; like our love

The smell of leaf mould and the sweetness of decay

B F#

Are the incense at the funeral procession here, today

In the trees, those useless trees

B F#

Produce the air that I am breathing

Yeah the trees, those useless trees

B F#

They never said that you were leaving

You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be

Carving your name a thousand won't bring you back to me

Oh no I might as well

I might as well just go tell it to the trees

G---4--10--11--8--6 (x2)

G--8--10--8--6--4

G--4s10--11

Oh yeah the trees, those useless trees

B F#

Produce the air that I am breathing

Yeah the trees, those useless trees

B F#

They never said that you were leaving

Go and tell it to the trees yeah
