The way I feel [D] is like a [E] robin whose babes have [D] flown to come no [Em] more.
Like a tall oak tree [E] alone and crying when the birds have [D] flown and the nest is [Em] bare.
Now a woman, [Bm] Lord, is [B] like a young [Em] bird and the tall oak [D] tree is a young man's [Em] heart.
Among its boughs [A] you'll find [Em] her nesting when the nights [D] are cool, she is warm [Em] and dry.
Your coat of green, [D] it [Em] will protect her, her wings [D] will grow, your love will [E] too.
But all too soon your mighty branches will cease [D] to hold her and she'll fly [E] from you.
