Way up [Bm] in the mountains, [F#m] on the high timber [Bm] line,
[A] There's a twisted old [Em] tree [A] called the _ [Bm] bristlecone pine.
[G] The wind there [Bm] is bitter, it [A] pops like [Bm] a knife,
_ [A] Keeps that tree [Em] holding _ [A] on for [Bm] near life.
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ Hold [Bm] on it does, _ [A] standing its [Bm] ground,
_ [A] Standing as [Em] _ empires [A] rise and [Bm] fall down,

[Bm] fold. _ _ _ _

_ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bm] Sleep at the feet of [A] the _ [B] bristlecone _ _ [A] pine,
[Bm] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ For [Bm] as I would slowly _ [A] return to [Bm] the earth,
[A] What little [Em] this body [A] of mine [Bm] might be worth,
It'd soon start to nourish [A] the roots of [Bm] that tree,
_ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [A] And it would [Em] partake of the [A] essence [Bm] of me.
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [Bm] But then [A] as the [Bm] century's turned,
[A] The small spark of [Em] me [A] will continue [Bm] to burn,
As long as the sun _ [A] does [Bm] continue to shine,
_ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ Down [Bm] on the limbs [A] of the _ _ [Bm] bristlecone _ [A] pine.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [G] The way I [D] have lived there [A] ain't no way [D] to tell,
