SONG: Cherry Tree

                                                                                      

                             A         D                 F#m      A

          Over your shoulder, please don't mind me if my eyes have

               D         A                 A                          

fallen onto your magazine for I've been watching and wondering why

                                   D              A       F#m          

your face is changing with every line you read.   All those  lines

            C#m       A       C#m         F#m               C#m       A        

and circles,  to me,  a mystery.  Eve pull down the apple and give

        F#m            Bm              E           ?  ????????            

taste to me.   If she would be wonderful,  but my pride is in  the

                                                                    

way.  I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.

                                                                    

          I  live  in  silence,  afraid to speak  of  my  life  of

                                                                    

darkness because I cannot read.   For all those lines and circles,

                                                                    

to me,  a mystery.   Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.

                                                                    

If she could it would be wonderful.   Then I wouldn't need someone

                                                                    

else's eyes to see what's in front of me.  No one guiding me.

                                                                    

          It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid  can

                                                                    

do  when he learns A to Z,  but all those lines and  circles  just

                                                                    

frighten  me and I fear that I'll be trampled if you  don't  reach

                                                                    

for  me.   Before I run I'll have to take a fall.   And then  pick

                                                                    

myself up,  so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in  the

                                                                    

Tower of Knowledge.

                                                                    

@SONG: Don't Talk

                D             F#m              D           F#m

               Don't talk,   I will listen.   Don't talk, you keep your

                       G                    D              Em        

distance  for  I'd rather hear some truth tonight  than  entertain

        Dadd9       G                  D                 Em                

your lies,  so take you poison silently.  Let me be.  Let me close

           A                                                        

my eyes.   Don't talk,  I'll beleive it.  Don't talk, listen to me

                                                                    

instead, I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard

                                                                    

the drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now.

                Em             A          Em                    A    

        Talk talk talk about it,  if you talk as if you care but

        Em                A              D             G     Em              

when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air,  tossing  back

                       A                                            

more than your share.   Don't talk,  I can guess it.   Don't talk,

                                                                    

well now your restless and you need somewhere to put the blame for

                                                                    

how you feel inside.   You'll look for a close and easy mark  and

                                                                    

you'll see me as fair game.

       Talk  talk talk about it,  talk as if you care but  when

                                                                    

your  talk is over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back  more

                                                                    

than your share.   You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you

                                                                    

care.   I'm  marking every word and can tell this time  for  sure,

                                                                    

your talk is the finest I have heard.  So don't talk, let me go on

dreaming.   How  your eyes they glow so feircely I can  tell  your

                                                                    

inspired by the name you chose for me.  Now what was it?  O, never

                                                                    

mind  it.   We  will talk talk talk about this when your  head  is

                                                                    

clear.   I'll discuss this in the morning,  but until then you may

                                                                    

talk but I won't hear.
