[Verse]
D                                 A
  I meant to leave the house this morning
           D                G
  And begin making my way toward where you are
D                                 A
  I meant to leave the house this morning
            D                 G
  I made it halfway across the front yard

[Chorus]
D                        G
  But the plum tree hung heavy in my head
D                        Bb         A
  And the plum tree hung heavy in my heart
D                        G     A
  And the plum tree hung heavy over me

[Verse]
D                                 A
  So I tore off to the phone
           D                G
  To call you and tell you something, but I couldn't remember what
D                                 A
  Because through the clean, clean windows
           D                G
  I saw the plum tree's leaves, as red as fresh blood

[Chorus]
D                        G
  But the plum tree hung heavy in my head
D                        Bb         A
  And the plum tree hung heavy in my heart
D                        G     A
  And the plum tree hung heavy over me
