Chords for Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway - Crooked Tree (Live)

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Two trees in the forest one was crooked [Gb] one was straight
[Abm] Crimson bark and emerald needles growing day by day
[E] Though they look so different.
They enjoyed the rain the same [B] side by side _ _
_ _ _ _ Chickadee told them of a darkness [Gb] on the [Abm] land
Spinning blade that came to visit carried by a man
[E] And every other tree would see them cut down where they [Gb] stand [B] by and by
_ _ _ _ [Gb] Oh, [Abm] can't you see?
[E] crooked tree
[B] Won't fit into the [Gb] mill machine
[Abm] They're left to grow
wild [E] and free
Oh, [B] I'd rather be [Gb] a [B] crooked _ tree _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ The _ rugged trees were driven down the mountain to the mill
[Abm] They turned them into toothpicks and twenty dollar bills.
[E] It seemed the more the people took the more they needed [B] still in the end
_ _ _ _ The crooked trees were left there after all the work was [Abm] done
Now they go for weeks and never witness [E] anyone
No one left to tell [Abm] them if [E] they're growing right or wrong [B] with a whisper in the wind
_ _ _ [Abm] Oh, can't you see?
A [E] crooked [A] tree
[B] Won't fit into the mill machine
[Gb] _ _ They're [Abm] left to grow
_ [E] wild and free
[B] Oh, I'd rather [Gb] be a [B] crooked tree _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ People say I'm different and my way of life seems [Abm] strange
I took the road less traveled twists and turns along the way
[E] But like the crooked tree I'm growing [B] stronger day by day as the clouds roll by _ _ _ _ _
A river never wonders why it flows around the bend
[Abm] A mountain doesn't question how it rose up from the [E] land
So who am I to wish I wasn't just the way I am?
[B] Who am I?
Oh, [Abm] can't you _ see?
[E] A crooked tree
_ [B] Won't fit into the mill [Gb] machine
They're [Abm] left to grow
_ [E] wild and free
[B] Oh, I'd rather be a [Abm] crooked tree
A [E] crooked _ tree
[B] Won't fit into the [Gb] mill machine _
[Abm] They're left to grow
_ [E] wild and free
[B] Oh, I'd rather be a crooked tree _
I'd rather be a crooked tree _ _ _ _
