The Leaning Tree Chords by Sun Kil Moon

[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Scattered rocks [C#] of your loss Lie around your [F#] dusty home
Burying old souls, opening [C#] old scars Dissonant wallow [F#] of guitars
Burning off Indian [C#] sun On the water [F#] barges on
Through the bay [C#] window panes Colors [F#] magnify and bleed
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Sleepy poets, perfect [C#] dream Past our homes, along [F#] the sea
This I would, this [C#] I will Leave to join you in [F#] the end
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] For you I would, for [C#] you I will Leave this for the [F#] Auburn news
Find your old [C#] peeling house Find you out there _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [F#] Hear the elk call from [C#] the tree Smell the midnight [F#] forest breathe
Shield you from the stalk [C#] and I Wake you in the morning
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _

_ [C#m] _ [F#] _ [C#] [A] You came [C#m] to me [G#m] [F#] in [A] a [C#m] dream [F#] _ [C#] [A] Walking [C#m] down the [B] path by the [F#m] core
Icy [C#m] stream, [F#] _ [C#] [A] white as [C#m] [B] snow [F#m]
Cold in the [C#m] pine, [F#] _ [C#] in the [A] Sierra
[C#m] _ [F#m]
Wintertime, [C#m] _ _ [C#] you [A] disappear [E] _ [F#m]
You left me [C#m] alone
_ [C#] In the [A] old [C#m] master [F#m] room of my mountain [C#m] home _ [C#] And I [A] called for [C#m] you [F#m]
so [C#m] many times
[F#] [C#] And [A] longed for [C#m] one more day [F#] with you in [A] my [C#m] life
[C#] I [A] longed for [C#m] one [B] more day [F#m] with you in my [C#m] [F#] life

[F#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] [C#] I [A] see [C#m] you in [F#] [A] my [C#m] [C#] dreams Your [A] poise is [C#m] perfect, that [F#m] of a statues [C#m] queen
[C#] Your [A] beautiful [C#m] hair, [F#m]
your ocean [C#m] blue eyes [C#] Bear [A] the dust [C#m] of your [F#m] loss [C#m] inside
[C#] And I begged [C#m] of you [B] so [C#m] many [F#] times
[C#] [A] Forgive me [C#m] once and for [F#m] all, for all of my [C#m] life
[F#] [C#] Forgive [A] me [C#m] once and for [F#m] all, for all of my [C#m] life

[C#] _ [D#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ Oh, [Fm] my me, _ _ [D#] the leaning trees _ Like a dying [C#] hen _ _ _
_ _ As [Fm] we pass the [G#] long [D#] dead grass _ Thirsty [G#] in the sun
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] Memories rest _ [A#m] beyond the [D#] broken fence _ Let [G#] their spirits [C#] speak _ _
_ The birds [Fm] have left [D#] their mothers' nest _ _ On the [G#] road
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ Then [Fm]
they sway _ over [D#] the bleach-white grave _ Sprawled over [G#] her head
_ _ [C#] _ _

And I begged of you so many times
