G
This old man I've talked about
C9 G C9 G
Broke his own heart, poured it in the ground
G
Big red tree grew up and out
C9 G C9 G G C9
Throws up its leaves, spins 'round and 'round
A
I know all this and more
G
So take your hat off when you're talking to me
C9
And be there when I feed the tree
G
This little squirrel that I used to be
C9 G C9 G
Slammed her bike down the stairs
G
They put silver where her teeth had been
C9 G C9 G G C9
Baby silvertooth, she grins and grins
A
I know all this and more
G
So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me
C9
And be there when I feed the tree
G
Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me
C9
Be there when I feed the tree
G
This old man I used to be
C9 G C9 G
Spins around, around, around, the tree
G
Silver baby, come to me
C9 G C9 G G C9
I'll only hurt you in my dreams
A C9
I know all this and... I know all this and...
A
I know all this and more
G
So take your hat off boy, when you're talking to me
C9
And be there when I feed the tree
G
Take your hat off boy, when you're talking to me
C9
And be there when I feed the tree
