Chords for Mandolin Orange - Echo

_ _ _ _ The doctor [Ebm] convinced us that we needed to go to Sherwood Forest.
So we [Cm] did.
_ We were [Eb] already wanting to have another. _
[G] It was really nice.
We got to take more of a walk. _
[E] _ Did you get robbed?
[Eb] We did not get robbed.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ We were just lucky to be [F] robbed in Sherwood Forest.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
They did have a really poor old tree there that _
looked like [E] it was really ready to be [G] done with this earth.
The major oak was the name of [N] that tree.
You know the name?
Yeah.
_ You know the big tree and they're holding it up with all [B] these
steel [C] rods and
It feels like [Gm] they should let it go.
_ _ [D] _ _ It's a cool play.
_ _ [G] I think it's cool when you get to see that tree kind [E] of intact.
But at the same time, _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ it's tough.
At _ _ [N] _ least paint the things that you're holding it together with green. _ _
_ _ _ No shame.
Silver [G] rods holding it together.
_ It's not fair man. _
_ But it was cool.
We loved it.
It was actually very fun.
We [Gm] played some _ Robin [G] Hood songs.
Yeah, we played some Mandolin and Fiddle and Brown Brothers Banjo.
We played some old time in Sherwood Forest. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
But what made me think of that is this next song is about trees and about
_ _ nature and how we want it to be around a few hundred years from now
and [D] maybe even a thousand years from now.
So _ _ yeah, here you go.
I [Eb] guess this is going to take a few rods to hold it [G] all together. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] I'm just on the breeze.
_ [G] _ Don't come easy [Em] now.
_ _ _ But we're all in school. _ _ _ _
_ Spend my [G] youthful _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G]
days
singing to [D] the fire. _
_ [G] And the wind
[D] _
looks [C] like a _ [D] napkin.
Yeah.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But I started to dream.
_ _ _ My new message _ is [Em] the air we breathe.
[G] And the _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ redwoods so tall.
[G] _ _ How they're all [C] _
together.
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Nothing this [G] way at all. _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ That ancient _ dance was lost. _ _
[G] [Em] And the _ [D] wind
_ looks [G] like a napkin.
[D] _ Side [G] note. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well, _
_ [Bm] someday I hope to find _
[C] that thing of funny wine.
_ [G] Where the coffee grows
along the [D] white oak trees.
_ _ And [Am] the sugar coated mountains
in [Em] the spring begin to melt.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Soul streams _ _
[G] _ _ reach back to starlight and sleep. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Together for _ [D] _
eternity.
_ _ _ And [Em] the wind
[D] _ moves [C] like a [D] napkin
_ _ _ _ _ _ as [D] the world drops off.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
