Chord/Tab song: A Day in the Life of a Tree

D [ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7
Feel the wind burn through my skin
Em7/D [ch]A7/D[/ch] D
The pain, the air is killing me
D [ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
Em7/D [ch]A7/D[/ch] D
A nest for birds to sit and sing
But no[G]w my br[A7]anches [A#dim]suffer [Bm]and my le[D7]aves don't bear the g[Em]low
F#m [ch]Em7/G[/ch] A7 D
They did so long ago

D [ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7
One day I was full of life
Em7/D [ch]A7/D[/ch] D
My sap was rich and I was strong
D [ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Em7/D [ch]A7/D[/ch] D
Through wind and rain I could not fall
But n[G]ow my bra[A7]nches s[A#dim]uffer a[Bm]nd my le[D7]aves don't offer[Em]
F#m [ch]Em7/G[/ch] A7 D
Poetry to men of song

D [ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this world can give
[ch]A7/D[/ch] D
Is pollution and slow death
[ch]F#m/D[/ch] F Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down no life's left to be found
[ch]A7/D[/ch] D
There's nothing left for me
(D) [ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Trees like me weren't meant to live if all this earth can give
[ch]A7/D[/ch] D
Is pollution
[ch]F#m/D[/ch] Em7/D D7 Em7/D
Oh Lord I lay me down my branches to the ground
[ch]A7/D[/ch] D
There's nothing left for me
