Am /Bm                         
My roots are deeper than the bones of the others
   Em/F#m
My colors that change with the sun
   Am/Bm
My branches we're higher than anything on the hillside
       Em/F#m
On the day that I watched them all come

Am G D C / Am G D x2
Bm A E D / Bm A E x2

Some wear the color of the sky in the winter
Some we're as blue as the night
They came like a storm with the light of the morn
And they fell through the whole day and night

    G/A                        D/E
The colors flew high and they danced in the sky
     Em/F#m                      C/D
As I watched them come over the hill
G/A                D/E
Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder
Em/F#m                   C/D
Such a great number lay still

When the light came again
There was death on the wind
As the buzzards made way for the worms
And the little white trees that don't bend in the breeze
For the ones that will never return

Chorus

Those that have fallen, come when I call �em
And answer the best that they can
But all they can see is what they used to be
And that's all that they understand

Chorus 2X
