(Strum all chords once)
A
I will tell all the crooked worms in my grave
E/B A
To save the eyes, save the eyes
A
And I will cover all the winding paths on which you pave
E/B A
Fallen skies, fallen skies
D A A G#m F#m
And if I tie up my troubles to the old birch tree
D E/B A
And if I don't chop it down, don't chop it down
(Now strum chords normally)
A
And I will throw all the stones in the shore at the restless sea
E/B A
Till it's dry, till it's dry
A
And I will let all the hundred faces in the street
E/B A
Pass me by, pass me by
D A
And if you wanna sell away your sorrows
A G#m F#m
Then save some for me
E/B
I will keep them from growing in the ground
D A A G#m F#m
And if I tie up my troubles to the old birch tree
D E/B A
And if I don't chop it down, don't chop it down
