a pretty torch & twang type song. sounds like she was influenced
a bit by patsy cline & maybe dolly parton...
sounds good finger-picked, or strummed, or a little of both...
as usual, corrections, suggestions, job offers are welcome.

THESE PINES

          Kasey Chambers

E                       A             E
These pines are not the ones that I'm used to
                    B           A
They won't carry me home when I cry
     E        A         E
Am I too far gone to recover
    F#               B
Or can I return if I try
         E        A          E
Should I trade my soul for another
                B          A
Learn not to complain anymore
         E            A             E
Should I stay and pretend that I'm happy
     B                E
Like so many times before

           A
Yeah these pines
        E
Are not mine
            B
They don't smell so sweet
         E
Like the ones in my mind
    B
And I search the needles
       A
'Til I run out of time
      E         B             A
But I don't see you in these pines

E         B             A

     E           A         E
Do I stumble or falter my words
                      B            A
When I'm saying everything is all right
        E         A          E
I'm not one to release my depression
           F#                       B
But these trees bring it out every night
              E               A         E
Well I don't talk 'cause I'm trying to listen
                    B                   A
To the wind take me home through these leaves
          E        A            E
But it's quiet and I don't hear nothing
           B                                E
'Cause the wind doesn't blow through these trees

           A
Yeah these pines
        E
Are not mine
           B
They don't smell so sweet
         E
Like the ones in my mind
    B
And I search the needles
       A
'Til I run out of time
      E         B             A
But I don't see you in these pines
      E         B             A
No I don't see you in these pines

E    B     A      E    B        A    E
