[Verso 1]
 
C        F 
I feel just 
        C       G 
like a dogwood tree 
G 
Yes, somebody come and 
          C 
carved a cross out of me 

          C          F 
And they carried me down 
      C G 
to Jerusalem 
                           C 
And people like me to the carpenter's son

[Verso 2]
 
C                 F 
Yeah, carried my weight up 
C            G 
a Golgotha plain 
G 
And the sky turned black, 
          C 
Lord, it started to rain 

C                F 
Then police with their hammers 
G 
and drove his white hands 
G       F 
into me 
F 
And I made him a part of 
C 
a dogwood tree 

F  C  G 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C               F 
Yeah, he may be gone 
       G 
far away from here 
F 
And the sun may shine bright 
C 
and, Lord, the sky might be clear 

C                       F 
But the iron that they used 
G                F 
to nail him to me 
G 
lingers dark in the bark 
C 
of a dogwood tree
