My Tree Chords by Chris Rice

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
_ _ [D] On a hill far away _ [C#m] stands a [F#m] tall mighty tree
Where [G] a boy and girl used to take turns pushing [D] the tire swing _
I [A] remember [D] the pocket knife in hand _ [F#m] and her name [A] in my heart
And thinking [Bm] there ain't no way for a boar to contain [E] the love that he feels [F#]
inside
_ _ _ So [G] I carved her name [D] into my tree
_ Then [G] I carved a heart [C#m] around [A] her name
_ Then [Bm] I carved an arrow [E] through the _ [G]
heart
_ _ Just to [D] say I love _ you
_ [F#m] Now [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] on a hill far away _ [A] stood an old rugged cross
_ [G] The emblem [D] of suffering _ [A] and [D] shame
_ [A] _ I remember [D] the nails through my hands _ [A] and your name in my heart
And how in [Bm] their wordless way [G] the nails explain [E] the love that I feel [F#] _ inside
As [G] they carved your name [D] into my tree _ _
_ Where [G] I wrapped my heart [A] around your _ name
_ Then [Bm] I took your [E] arrow through my _ [G] _
heart
_ Just to say [D] I love you
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ Now I [G] can never forget how [D] much you mean to me
_ Cause I [G] will _ always [E] _ remember _ [A]
whenever I see
[F#] _ _ Where [G] I carved your name [D] into my tree _ _
_ Where [G] I wrapped my heart [A] around your _ _ name
Then [Bm] I took your arrow [E] through my _ [G] heart
_ _ _ Just to say [D] I love you
Just _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ to say I [D] love _ _ you
_ _ _ [G] _
I _ _ _ really [D] love you
