Big Tree chords and lyrics - RALPH MCTELL

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Whe[G]n I[C] was a little kid,
not very old,
me and Susie at the top of the road,
we used to [Am]run in the [G]garden f[C]ree,
[G]playing games around the big [C]tree.
One afternoon, whilst we played,
we was led to the big tree shade,
and [F]I showed her, [C]she
She showed me lot[G]s of fun
behind the big [C]tree.
Big tree, what do you know?
Why do you spread your
branches low?
Well, the [F]big tree was her [C]friend,
and the [G]big tree knew how it would [C]end.
Soft grass on a leafy bend,
we touched tongues and
giggled instead.
[F]I showed her, she showed [C]me,
but [G]we got caught behind the big [C]tree.
It was a neighbor who complained,
she told us both to be ashamed.
[F]I got cuffed, Susie [C]cried,
but we [G]couldn't
have done nothing if we [C]tried.
Big tree, why do you sigh?
Big tree, raise your branches high.
The [F]big tree knows her birth
[C]an d I've [G]seen him tremble in the [C]wind
Ain't it a crime or is it a sin
The bard from the garden couldn't get in
Me [F]and Susie got nothing to [C]hide
But [G]I guess we'll make it in the world [C]outside
