Willow Tree

[Verso 1]
 
             C 
There sits a man 
              E7 
He chats with old photographs 
                    Fmaj7 
Waiting for them to talk back 
                       C 
He yearns to know what they'd say 
           E7                           Fmaj7 
Are they really as happy as their smile portrays? 
               Dm7        F/C 
Oh, maybe it's true (ooh) 
       Bb                 C                 Fmaj7 
Cause they don't know as much as me and you do 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
C                  E7 
Eroding our years away 
                      Fmaj7 
Asking the man in the frame 
C                     E7 
Well, maybe I've gone insane 
                            Fmaj7 
But he's telling 'bout that day 
 


[Refrão]
 
        C 
Saying, "How come I could hardly see 
    Fmaj7 
The water flowing down the stream" 
         C 
"But the path that led me to the creeks 
Fmaj7 
Cemented in my memory" 
            C                                  Fmaj7                         C 
Oh, we were dancing under Willow Trees, singing "I need to get there to feel warm" 
({C}) 
("Well, I learnt son learnt son") 
Fmaj7              N.C.                  C 
"Once you feel the heat, you'll miss the cold"  

E7 - E - F - C

({C})                        Em 
Well, I'm a plant in every photo 
                  C7                  Fmaj7 
Yet I never synthesize with the daily light 
           C 
So, I keep begging him for more answers 
             Em 
And he says, "Boy, you had the chances" 
           C7 
"You'll be fine" 
                 Fmaj7 
While feedin' me those same lines

When you wish through the winter, you will quickly come to find 
         Fmaj7                              Fm 
You were livin' in the picture, your spring self will idolize 
             C 
"So don't be scared of the cold air" 
         E 
Said the film as he faded goodbye 
         Fmaj7                                      Fm 
"Oh, the path you paved to the pictures is what you must romanticize" 
C    E7   Fmaj7   C   E E7 
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh 
     Fmaj7                                   C 
"So, once you feel the heat, you'll miss the cold"
