Chords for Randy Mathews - Didn't He (live)

When anybody else came to the picnic I went over to the old maple tree and I took out my pocket knife and I carved a
heart on the side of the tree _
_ _ Carved your initials at the top of the heart and I even carved my initials underneath with an arrow through the heart
When _
[Bbm] _ _ [E] you came to the picnic [Eb] you stood right underneath the tree and you saw all the heart and the initials in
And _ _ I think you even saw the arrow, _ _ _ _ but you didn't understand
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
Later in the afternoon when we'd finished eating our fried chicken
I stood with you right underneath the maple tree and I stood really close to you
And _ _ _ I whispered poetry to you that I had to learn in school
You _ _ _ [N] _
heard the poetry. _ _
I know that you did, but you
You still didn't understand _
[Bb] If _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ I were to climb to the top of the maple tree
I mean right up to the very top and stand in the highest branches _
Where everybody could see me and shout as loud as I can I love [Gb] you.
I love you
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _
Then would you understand _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] and the tree that Jesus [Gb] died on wasn't a maple tree?
It was a cross _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and he didn't need to take out his pocket knife and carve a heart on the side of the tree to show us love for us because
_ that tree was stained with his own blood _ _ _ _ _ _ and
Jesus didn't need to climb up to the top of the maple tree and shout down.
I love you to those gathered below
He just hung there
_ _ _ _ Dying
_ _ And saying father
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Father forgive them.
They don't even _ _
Know what they're doing
And _ they didn't and and we still don't _ _ _ _ _ it's time.
We got back to the tree _ _ _ _ is a
Individual [F] as a people as a country as a nation.
It's time.
We got back to the tree.
There's
Peace at the tree. _ _ _
_ There's love at the tree.
There's life at the tree
_ And _ there's room
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ The tree _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _
Jesus was half beaten to death before he made it to Calvary couldn't even carry the cross all the way another man had to _
when they reached Calvary the cross was taken from the shoulders of that other man and
Thrown on the ground and according to history.
Jesus was stripped naked before the multitude
and _ _ _ _ pushed backwards on to the cross _ _ _ _ and a soldier stepped out from the side with a hammer and some nails and _ _ _
_ _ And he don't down beside the cross and he took Jesus
_ dirty feet in his _ _ _
His dirty hands _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and he stretched him out on the wood and right in the middle right in the palm
He _ _ placed a nail and _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
he drew back his hammer _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
