        Dm                       Dm                             Am
Staning here the old man said to me  "Long before these crowded streets

                       Am                       Dm                  Dm
Here stood my dreaming tree"  Below it he would sit  For hours at a time

                   Am                         Am                     Dm
Now progress takes away  What forever took to find  Now he's falling hard

                     Dm                    Am                       Am
He feels the falling dark  How he longs to be  Beneath his dreaming tree

                  Dm                       Dm                            
Conquered fear to climb  A moment froze in time  When the girl who first 

Am                               Am                       Dm              
he kissed  Promised him she'd be his  Remembered mother's words  There 

            Dm                        Am                         Am       
beneath the tree  "No matter what the world  You'll always be my baby" 

           Dm                           Dm                       Am            
Mommy come quick  The dreaming tree has died  The air is growing thick  A 

               Am                          Dm      
fear he cannot hide  The dreaming tree has died

A              G                  F             D     
Oh have you no pity  This thing I do  I do not deny it

                 A                    G                F      
All through this smile  As crooked as danger  I do not deny

          D                          A                 G

                  F               D                     A      
I would leave you up  To your own devices  Will you not talk 

             G                 F                   D      A         
Can you take pity  I don't ask much  But won't you speak  Please 


[Bridge]


[Verse 2]:


         Dm                         Dm                 Am

                        Am                     Dm                        
For sure she'd make the grade  Adorers came in hordes  To lay down in 

 Dm                           Am                        Am                         
her wake  She gave it all she had  But treasures slowly fade  Now she's falling

Dm                          Dm                      Am                             
hard  She feels the fall of dark  How did this fall apart  She drinks to fill 

   Am                       Dm                     Dm                                
it up  A smile of sweetest flowers  Wilted so and soured  Black tears stain the 

Am                          Am                             Dm                       
cheeks  That once were so admired  She thinks when she was small  there on her

       Dm                          Am                        Am     
father's knee  How he had promised her  "You'll always be my baby"

            Dm                           Dm                        Am
"Daddy come quick  The dreaming tree has died  I can't find my way home  

                     Am                          Dm  
There is no place to hide  The dreaming tree has died"


[Bridge 2]
 
[Chorus]
        G            
Oh if I had the strength to

                  F               D                     A      
I would leave you up  To your own devices  Will you not talk 

             G                 F                   D      A         
Can you take pity  I don't ask much  But won't you speak  Please
