I Plant This Tree

by: Verne Garrison

October 23, 2007----Valley Park Mo

(D) There it is,

I planted it for you and (A) me

It (D) is also (G) hers and (D) his

That small twig (A) will become a (D) tree

Chorus:

You are never too (G) old to plant a (D) tree

It will be there to fill a (A) need

For (D) young and old (G) whatever their (D) need

So----time out, while I (A) plant this (D) tree

It could be white oak, (G) ash or maybe (D) pine

Made into ship keels, or sail (A) masts

Or (D) the wheel (G) on a steamship (D) line

Used for many (A) things by pioneers (D) past

Now even (G) timber (D) waste

Becomes the much needed bio-(A) mass

Converted (D) to (G) needed (D) fuel

Including auto and (A) natural (D) gas

A (G) sight to behold, to those here, early (D) on

Timberland spread from sea to (A) sea

And (D) with proper care (G) it will never be (D) gone

You are never too (A) old to plant a (D) tree

Chorus
