The Trees Rush
[D] [F#] [C#m] [A] [E] [G] [A] [Bm]
There is [D]unrest in the [F#]forest; there is [C#m]trouble with the [A]trees
For the [E]Maples want more [G]sunlight [A]and the [Bm]Oaks ignore their pleas
[D] [F#] [C#m] [A] [E] [G] [A] [Bm]
[D] [A] [Bm] [F#] [G]
The [A]trouble with the [Bm]Maples and they're [G]quite co[D]nvinced they're [A]right
They say the [A]Oaks are just too [Bm]lofty and they [G]grab up [D]all the l[A]ight.
But the [A]Oaks can't help their [Bm]feelings if they [G]like the [D]way they're [A]made
And they [F#]wonder why the Maples can't be [G]happy in their shade[A] [G] [F#] [E]
There is [D]trouble in the [F#]forest, and the [C#m]creatures all have [A]fled
as the [E]Maples scream [G]Oppression [A]and the [Bm]Oaks just shake their heads
[D] [F#] [C#m] [A] [E] [G] [A] [Bm]
(it goes into a bunch of craziness here in 5/4 time that I'm going to leave out.
Instead I play the D A Bm F# G progression again)
So the [A]Maples formed a [Bm]union and [G]demanded [D]equal [A]rights
These [A]Oaks are just too [Bm]greedy, we will [G]make them [D]give us [A]light
Now there's [A]no more [Bm]Oak oppression, for they [G]passed a [D]noble [A]law
And the [F#]trees are all kept equal by [G]hatchet, axe, and [A]saw
