Not Even The Trees by Hootie and The Blowfish - guitar chords, guitar tabs and lyrics

	Dsus2	A/D
	Alone, as I	sit and watch the trees

	Dsus2	A/D
	Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down and	listen to me

	Bm	A
And it makes me	wonder if I'll know t	he words when you come

	G
Or will you	laugh at me or will I run?

Little boy says to me "Where you goin' now, son?"

I said "I don't know where I'm goin' boy

I only know where I'm from."

And it makes me wonder if the stars shine when my eyes close

	G	D
Or does my	brother's heart cry, oh	I don't know

	G	D
	I'm a stranger in my ho	me

	G	D
	Now that everybody's gone

	G	Bm	Bm7
	Someone please talk to me cause I	feel you cry

	A	G
And you're	sitting with him and I	know I'll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston underneath the Carolina sky

You see I'm tired of feeling this pain

I'm tired of livin' my own little lie

And it makes me wonder when I see you in my dreams

Does it mean anything, are you trying to talk to me?

I'm a stranger in my home

Tell me, are you feeling alone?

Someone tell me what to do,

'Cause I'm feeling strong

And I wonder how you feel

	G	F#m	Em
Does he realize, my pain is for	real

	Bm
I see you in my	dreams

	Asus	A7	Bm	Bm7
and I	wonder if you're looking	down at me and smiling right	now

	A	G	Bm
Oh yeah	I	wanna know if it's true, when he	looks at me

	Bm7	Asus
	Won't ya tell me, does he	realize,

	A7
he	came down here, and he took you to soon, oh

And now my days are short and my nights are long

I lay down out with memories of you, that keep me going on, going on

Now I know that it makes me wonder, as I sit and stare,

Will I see your face again - tell me, do you care?

I'm a stranger in my home

Livin' life on my own

Right now I just can't see

'Cause I'm feeling weak

And my soul begins to bleed

And no one's listening to me

Not even the trees

Intro riff:

] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

|-----0------0----|-----0------0----|
|-------3---3--3--|-------2---2--2--|

This is played over the first half of the verses, twice before each verse,

and four times at the end of the song.

The following is played over the second half of the first verse:

] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

|-----2------2----|-----0------0----|-3----
|-------3------3--|-------2------2--|-3----
|---4-------4-----|---2-------2----0|-0----
|----------4------|----------2------|-0----
|-2-------2-------|-0-------0-------|-2----
|-----------------|-----------------|-3----

At the end of the other verses, going into the chorus, rather than holding

the G chord, play the following:

] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

|-----3------3----|-------------------------|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|
|-------3---3--3--|-3-------3-3-3-3---3-----|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|

|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
|-3-------3-------|---------------------2---|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|

Note that after the first verse, there are three guitars on the recording

doing their own thing - but since there isn't really anything fancy enough

to justify wasting a lot of space tabbing them all out, the chord

formations shown above make a reasonable arrangement for one guitar.

However, do note that over the verse riff, one of the other guitars

(an acoustic) uses these chords: Dsus2-xx0235 A/D-xx0225
