Tree by the River Iron & Wine
CAPO 1st fret
intro: A D Bm
[A]Mary Anne, do you reme[D]mber
the tree by the [Bm]river
when we were seven[A]teen?
[A]Dark canyon wall, the call and th[D]e answer
and the mare in the [Bm]pasture
pitch black and baring its [A]teeth.
I recall the sun in our faces,
stuck and leaning on braces,
and being strangers to change.
Radio and the bones we found frozen,
and all the thorns and the roses
beneath your window pane.
[Bm]Now I m asleep in a c[A]ar, I mean the world
to a [Bm]potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed [A]birds.
[Bm]Time isn t kind or unkin[A]d, you liked to say.
But I[Bm] wonder to who
what it is you re saying [A]today.
[A]Whoo....[D] [Bm] x2
Now I m asleep in a car, I mean the world
to a potty-mouth girl,
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.
Time isn t kind or unkind, you liked to say.
But I wonder to who
what it is you re saying today.
Mary Anne, do you remember
the tree by the river
when we were seventeen?
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon;
happy just to be with you,
and you were happy for me.
