Iron & Wine- Tree By The River Lyrics
- capo 2nd fret


(G) Mary Anne, do you (C) remember
the tree by the river
when we were (G) seventeen?

(G) Dark canyon wall, the call and the (C) answer
and the mare in the pasture
pitch black and baring its (G) teeth.

(G) I recall the sun in our (C) faces,
stuck and leaning on braces,
and being strangers to (G) change.

(G) Radio and the bones we found (C) frozen,
and all the thorns and the roses
beneath your window (G) pane.

(C) Now I�m asleep in a (G) car, I mean the world
to (C) a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed (G) birds.

(C) Time isn�t kind or un- (G) - kind, you liked to say.
But I (C)  wonder to who
what it is you�re saying (G) today.

(C) Now I�m asleep in a (G) car, I mean the world
to (C) a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed (G) birds.

(C) Time isn�t kind or un- (G) - kind, you liked to say.
But I (C)  wonder to who
what it is you�re saying (G) today.


(G) Mary Anne, do you (C) remember
the tree by the river
when we were (G) seventeen?

(G) Dark canyon road, I was coy in the (C) half-moon;
happy just to be with you,
and you were happy for (G)  me.
