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
