 Am             G     F   C
Hunted down, I came upon
    Bb                 Am
A place of ferns and grass
          G            F   C
Gathered to a redbud tree
     Bb                  Am
And now their footsteps pass

          G         F    C
Where I crouch in dread
        Bb            Am
Discovery my certain death
            G               F    C
Her leaves reaching for my head
   Bb             Am
As I suspend my breath


         C          Dm            A
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
         Dm           G           A
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

       G        F    C      
Those days of fear are gone
    Bb               Am
Yet I am pledged to her
    G         F    C
As to my only one
    Bb         Am
My lovely protector


         C          Dm            A
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
         Dm           G           A
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
         C          Dm            A
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
         Dm/F         G           A
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
