Chorus

Peter may be playing some variations of these chords, particularly in the verses,

but strumming upwards definitely helps reach a sound closer to the original song.

In the instrumental before the first chorus, to best match the notes that Peter is

picking, the chords can be strummed/fingerpicked as follows:

- 133213 (Or, if you don't have incredibly flexible hands, 13x213)

Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep

Even if you remove them

Branches and limbs are intangible things

That's a fact, but it's not been proven

I am alive but I am not blinking

I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing

Pull up my roots, I am replanted

I'm growing back, you can take it for granted

I'll abandon my flaws if you call off this song

Don't cut me down

I was reeling with drought, so I moved up and out

But I stay in the ground

I am alive, but I am not blinking

I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing

I pull up my roots, but I am replanted

I'm growing back, you can take that for granted

Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep

Even if you remove them.
