[Verse 1]
[C]I s[F]aw a[C] tr[G]ee [F]by [C]a riv[F]erside[G][Em]
One [Dm]day as I w[G]alked [C]along
Straight as an [F]arrow and
[G]pointing to the [Em]sky
Grow[Dm]ing [G]tall and s[C]trong
[F]How do you [Bb]grow so [C]tall and [Am]strong?
I [Gm]said to the [C]riverside [F]tree[G]
[C]This is the [F]song that my [G]tree
friends sang to [C]me
I've got [F]roots growing [G]down to the [C]water I've
got [F]leaves growing [G]up to the [C]sunshine
And the [F]fruit that I [G]bear is
a [Am]sign of life in [Dm]me[G]
[C]I am s[F]hade from the h[G]ot summer s[C]un down
I am [F]nest for the [G]birds of the [C]heaven
I'm becom[F]ing what the
[G]Lord of
[Am]Trees has meant me [G]to be
A [C]strong, [F]tree[C][G][F]
[C]I saw a t[F]ree in the c[G]ity streets[Em]
Where [Dm]buildings [G]block the [C]sun
[F]Green [C]and lov[F]ely I c[G]ould see[Em]
It gave [Dm]joy to e[G]veryone
[C]How[F] do you gro[Bb]w in the cit[C]y street
[Am]s? I said [Gm]to the downt[C]own tree[F].[G]
[C]This is the [F]song that my [G]tree
friends sang to [C]me.
I've got [F]roots growing [G]down to the [C]water. I've
got [F]leaves growing [G]up to the [C]sunshine.
And the [F]fruit that I [G]bear is
the [Am]sign of life in [Dm]me.[G]
[C]I am s[F]hade from the h[G]ot summer s[C]undown.
I am [F]nest for the [G]birds of the [C]heaven.
I'm becom[F]ing what the
[G]Lord of
[Am]Trees has meant me [G]to be
A strong [C]young [F]tree[C][G][F]
You
