The Trees Chords & Lyrics by Rush
The Trees
guitar chords lyrics
D F# Cm# A
There is unrest in the forest; there is trouble with the trees
E G A Bm
For the Maples want more sunlight and the Oaks ignore their pleas
A Bm G D A
The trouble with the Maples and they're quite convinced they're right
A Bm G D A
They say the Oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light.
A Bm G D A
But the Oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made
F# G A
And they wonder why the Maples can't be happy in their shade
D F# Cm# A
There is trouble in the forest, and the creatures all have fled
E G A Bm
as the Maples scream Oppression and the Oaks just shake their heads
A Bm G D A
So the Maples formed a union and demanded equal rights
A Bm G D A
These Oaks are just too greedy, we will make them give us light
A Bm G D A
Now there's no more Oak oppression, for they passed a noble law
F# G A
And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw
