Intro: | Fmaj7 | / | Cm6/Eb | / | Dm | / | Asus4 | / | A7 |
Fmaj7 Em7
Underneath your branches I have spent so many hours
Gm7 Bm7
Looking at the sky, wondering why the trees are towers
Em G/D A/C#
The photos in my pocket are pictures of the past
Fmaj7/C G/A A
A slim reminder of the rain that's hidden in the grass
Chorus:
A/C# D Bm F#m
And I can see, I can see the things I want to be
C Eb C/G - G
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
C Eb C/G - G
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
G D
Bend your branches and defy the cloudless sky
Fmaj7 Em7 Am - A7
And cry willow, cry willow, cry
Fmaj7 Em7
Now I stand and watch the geese as they go South
Gm7 Bm7
Watch a while, willow as they fly o'er our house
Em G/D A/C#
I understand now fully well, the words are in my mouth
Fmaj7/C G/A A
So put me on the goose's back and let us all fly South
Repeat Chorus
