THE PINE TREE
A G D A
I lean my back against you thinkin' you were an oak
G D A
I knew the wind could bent you but I can't believe you broke
G D A
Now the wind could never break me only your false love
G D A
Honey I've been true I swear by God above
G D A
I thought you were a willow but you never wept for me
G D A
You went roamin' in the wildwood like a ship that roams the see
G D A
The willow tree is fickle and it weeps in the morning dew
G D A
My love is a pine tree cause that's the only tree that's true
G D A
If I was mistaken then take my eyes away
G D A
You made a bed in the wildwood and that's where I saw you lay
G D A
Honey your eyes deceived you it's true I touched the ground
G D A
But I never slept there I never let my long hair down mhm
G D A
Love is like a thorn bush touch it and you will find
G D A
You'll prick your fingers and leave the sweetest flower behind
G D A
Love oh love oh what you done to me
G D A
You set me a driftin' like a ship upon the sea
G D A
Yes a ship there is I see you and you belong to me
G D A
My love is the ocean and deeper love cannot be
G D A
Yeah well I guess I was mistaken and woman I want you back
G D A
You never have left my heart now honey baby that's a fact
G D A
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
G D A
We'll put our roots down in each other's heart
G D A
Come to me pine tree and we will never part
G D A
We'll put our roots down in each other's heart
