Bbmaj7 Gadd9     Bbmaj7     Gadd9
I shall pick the tallest tree
Bbmaj7       Gadd9          Bbmaj7    Gadd9
Strong and sturdy just for me
Bbmaj7  Gadd9   Bbmaj7    Gadd9
Ask it if I may end my days
Bbmaj7   Gadd9            Bbmaj7      Gadd9
Clambering its graceful frame

[Pre-chorus]
D         Bbmaj7        D        Bbmaj9
Rising up high a scenic beauty unfolds
D        Bbmaj7              D               Bbmaj9
Only the wind scouting these grounds makes a sound

Hide stealthily oh, let me peacefully surrender

Bbmaj9  Gm  F  Em  Dsus2

[Break]
Dm                  Dsus2
And once I tied and formed a sling
Dm                      Dsus2
I saw a bird that had a broken wing
Dm                        Dsus2
The bird was tired, could barely sing
Dm                       Dsus2
"Is this pain all that my life can bring?"
Dm                    Dsus2
And all it took was a piece of string
Dm                         Dsus2
Around a stick to mend the broken wing
Dm                         Dsus2
Through the forest now its voice could ring
Dm                           Dsus2
"Bow for this tree now has a brand new king"

And all the while I hung

From the oak's eldest son
Bb       Bbmaj7 Gadd9
Dangling in the breeze
       Gm     F      Dsus2
As the mother of the broken

Bbmaj9  Gmaj9      Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
Is this beauty not lovable?
Bbmaj9    Gmaj9     Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
'nough to change my mind?
Bbmaj9  Gmaj9  Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
Soaking in the silence
Bbmaj9  Gmaj9 Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
Anguish lingering
Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
Hang
Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
Hang
Bbmaj9  Gmaj9
Hang
