Gene Parsons I Must Be A Tree by Gene Parsons/Gib Guilbeau

Clarence White guitar

E F#

You are nothing but a piece of driftwood

A B E

But I can feel the pain and misery

F#

And in this rut I'm stuck with roots a-pining

A B E

But I'm not a man so I must be a tree

E

I can't be real, yes I must be a tree

F#m B E

I bloom my spring then comes the fall that withers me

E

And through this cold I'm dormant 'til you call on me

F#m D E

That's why I know that I must be a tree

E F#

Every month you mate our need gets bigger

A B E

My heart has hardened like a knot of wood

E F#

And things won't be so shady for you anymore

A B E

Someday this tree will branch out towards the other wood

E

I can't be real, no I must be a tree

F#m B E

I bloom my spring then comes the fall that withers me

E

And through this cold I'm dormant 'til you call on me

F#m D E

That's why I know that I must be a tree
