Standing here, [Dm] the old man said to [Bb] me Long before [Em] these [C] crowded streets
[Am] Here stood my dreaming tree Below it he [Dm] would sit for hours at a time
Now [Am] progress takes [C] away [Am] what forever took to find
And now his [Dm] fallen heart, it feels the falling dark
And [C] how it longs to be [Am] beneath this dreaming tree
[E] Conquered [Dm] fear and climb a moment's frozen tile
When the girl who [Em] first he kissed [Am] promised him she'd be his
[Dm]
Remembered mother's words, there beneath the tree
No matter [C] what the world, [Am] you've always been my baby
Mommy, [Dm] come quick, the dreaming tree has died
Fear is [C] growing thin, fear cannot [Am] hide, the dreaming [Dm] tree has died
[A] Oh, have you [G] no pity, this [F] thing I do, I do [D] not deny it
All [A] through the smiles, crooked [G] as danger, [F] do not deny
I know [D] in my mind I would [A] leave you now
If I [G] had the strength to, I would [F] leave you all
To [D] your own devices, will you not [A]
talk?
Can [G] you take pity, don't [D] ask much, [C] won't you [A] speak, please?

From [Dm] the start, she knew she had it made
Easy [Em] up till then, for sure she'd [C] make the grade
[Dm]
Adores came in [G] [Dm] hoards to lay down in her wake
Gave it [C] all she had, but treasure slowly [F] faded
[C] Now she's [Dm] fallen heart, feels the fall of dark
How did this [C] fall apart?
She drinks to fill it up
[F] A smile of sweetest flowers, wilted so and sour
Black tears [C] stain the cheeks that [G] once were so [C] admired
She thinks when [Dm] she was small, there on her father's [G] knee
How he [C] had promised her, he'll always be my baby
Daddy [Dm] come quick, the dreaming tree has died
I can't find my way [C] home, there is no place to hide
The dreaming [Dm] tree has died
Oh,
[A]
if I [G] had the strength to, I would [F] leave you all
To your [D] own devices, will you not [A]
talk?
Can you [G] take pity, I don't ask [D]
much, but [C] won't you [A] speak, please?
