Staning [Dm]here the old man said to [Dm]me "Long before these cro[Am]wded streets
Here stood my dreaming [Am]tree" Below it he w[Dm]ould sit For hours [Dm]at a time
Now progress takes [Am]away What forever took to [Am]find Now he's falling [Dm]hard
He feels the falling [Dm]dark How he longs to [Am]be Beneath his dreaming [Am]tree
Conquered fear to [Dm]climb A moment froze in [Dm]time When the girl who first
[Am]he kissed Promised him she'd be [Am]his Remembered mother's [Dm]words There
beneath the [Dm]tree "No matter what[Am] the world You'll always b[Am]e my baby"
Mommy come [Dm]quick The dreaming tree has [Dm]died The air is growing [Am]thick A
fear he cannot [Am]hide The dreaming tree has [Dm]died

[A]Oh have you no [G]pity This thing I [F]do I do not d[D]eny it
All through this [A]smile As crooked as [G]danger I do not [F]deny
I know in [D]my mind I would leave you [A]now If I had the [G]strength to
I would leave you [F]up To your own [D]devices Will you not [A]talk
Can you take [G]pity I don't ask [F]much But won't you [D]speak [A]Please
[Bridge]
[Verse 2]:
[Dm] [Dm] [Am]
For sure she'd make the [Am]grade Adorers came in [Dm]hordes To lay down in
h[Dm]er wake She gave it all she [Am]had But treasures slowly [Am]fade Now she's falling
[Dm]hard She feels the fall of [Dm]dark How did this fall [Am]apart She drinks to fill
it [Am]up A smile of sweetest f[Dm]lowers Wilted so and s[Dm]oured Black tears stain the
[Am]cheeks That once were so ad[Am]mired She thinks when she was [Dm]small there on her
father'[Dm]s knee How he had promised [Am]her "You'll always b[Am]e my baby"
"Daddy [Dm]come quick The dreaming tree[Dm] has died I can't find my[Am] way home
There is no place to [Am]hide The dreaming tree has [Dm]died"
[Bridge 2]
[Cborus]
Oh if I [G]had the strength to
I would leave you [F]up To your own [D]devices Will you not [A]talk
Can you take [G]pity I don't ask [F]much But won't you [D]speak [A]Please
[Bridge]
