Poison Tree Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dsus4][Am]

[Verse 1]
I was angry with [Am]my
friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end
I was angry with my foe

[Verse 2]
I told him not, my wrath did grow
[Am]
And I watered it with fears
Night and morning with my tears
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]And it grew both day and [C]night
[G]Till it bore an apple [C]bright
[G]And my foe beheld its [C]shine
[G]And he knew that it was mine

[Verse 4]
[G]Into [C]my [G]garden stole

[Interlude 1]
When the night had veiled the Pole
[G][Am]

[Verse 5]
He has cast me in [Am]shade
Night and morning have I [G]prayed[Am]
Even turned their blood in me

[Verse 6]
Oh, those of little loyalty
[Am]
I have watered it with fears
Night and morning with my tears
I have sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
With soft deceitful [G]wiles[C]
[G]And it grew

[Verse 7]
both day and [C]night
[G]Till it bore an apple [C]bright
[G]And my foe beheld it[C]s shine
[G]And he knew that it was mine

[Verse 8]
[G]Into my garden stole

[Verse 9]
When the night had veiled the Pole
[Am]
I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end
I was angry with my foe

[Verse 10]
I told him not, my wrath did grow
[Am]
Into my garden he stole
When the night had veiled the Pole
In the morning, glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
My foe outstretched beneath

[Outro 1]
the tree
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][Am]
