Two trees in the forest, one was crooked, one was straight
[Ab] Crimson bark and emerald needles growing day by day
And though they [Db] looked so different, they enjoyed the rain the same side [B] by side
A chickadee told them of a darkness on the land
[Abm] Spinning blades that came to visit, carried by a man
[B] And every other tree would see them cut down [E] where they [B] stand by and by
Oh [Abm] can't you see, a crooked [E] tree won't [B] fit into the mill [Gb] machine
They're out to grow, wild [E] and free, [B] oh I'd rather be a crooked tree
[Abm]
[Ebm] [E]
[B]
Perfect trees were driven down the mountain to the mill
[Abm] They turned them into toothpicks and twenty dollar bills
[E] And seeing the more the people [E] took, the more they needed still [B] in the end
The crooked trees were left there after all the work was [Abm] done
Now they go for weeks and never witness anyone
[E] No one left to tell them if they're growing right or [B] wrong with a whisper in the wind
Oh [Abm] can't you see, a crooked tree [B] won't fit into the mill [Gb] machine
They're [Abm] out to grow, wild [E] and free, [B] oh I'd rather be a crooked tree
[Abm]
[E]
[Db] [B]
People say I'm different and my way of life seems [Abm] strange
I took the road less traveled, twists and turns along the way
[E] But like the crooked tree I'm growing stronger day by [B] day as the clouds roll by
[Ab] [B] A river never wonders why it flows around a bend
[Abm] A mountain doesn't question how it rose up from the [B] land
[Db] So who am I to wish I wasn't just the way I am, who am I?
Oh [Abm] can't you see, a crooked [E] tree [B] won't fit into the mill [Gb]
machine
They're out [Abm] to grow, wild [E] and free, [B] oh I'd rather be a [Abm] crooked tree
