Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]She's my knotty pine
[G]She leans with the wind
She cries [Dsus4]turpen ti[D]ne
Some[G]times she nettles [D]me
But [Dsus4]I don't m[D]ind
[Dsus4]Only now and then[G]
[F]When her branches [G]lean
beneath the [D]snow
She's knotty but nice
[G]Reaching for the sky
She [D]don't like snow 'n ice
To leave things as they stand
Is [Dsus4]my ad vic[D]e
[Dsus4]She's been good to [G]me
[F]So I tend to [G]go there when
I [D]can
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]She's my knotty pine
[G]Such a pretty scene
She tries [Dsus4]to be kin[D]d
She gives birds a home
And shelters them
In her coat of [G]green
[F]She's as green [G]as evergreen can [D]be

[Verse 3]
She's a real delight [G]When
little breezes call
To [D]ruffle up her skin
All her sap runs free
And [Dsus4]sticks to [D]me
Hidden deep with[G]in
[F]I will be her [G]slave eternally
[D][G][Dsus4][D]
[G][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 4]
She's my [G]knotty
[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][G]
[F][G][D][Dsus4][D][G]
[D][Dsus4][D][G][Dsus4][D]
[G]pine[F][G][D][G]
[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][G][F][G]
[Asus4][G][D]
[G]She leans with the wind
She crys [Dsus4]turpen ti[D]ne
Sometimes she nettles me
But [Dsus4]I don't m[D]ind
Only now and [G]then
[F]When her branches [G]lean beneath the [D]snow

[Outro 1]
[G]
[Dsus4][D][G][Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4][G][F][G][D]
