Topic: Sitting in a Tree
For some strange reason summer has taken a break in the northern Virginia area. Made me remember my summer times as a kid when I would climb up a tree and enjoy the view, breeze and maybe even an apple if I picked the right tree. While I have not climbed a tree in many years I still appreciate the idea of it so here it is in a song.
Sitting in a Tree By Jeff Gilpin

[D]Look at me sitting in a tree
Just about as happy as [A]I can [D]be
[D]Enjoying myself a cool little breeze
And the [Em]birds as they sing
And the [A]buzzing of the bees
In the [D]tree
[G]Now the bees they don’t bother me none
We have a truce and I’ll [D]tell you [G]son
[G]They’re too busy trying to get stuff done
To bother with the likes of [A]me [A7]
So [D]I’m content just sitting in the tree
I’ve got no worries to [A]bother [D]me
[D]Sitting up here just as happy as you please
While the [Em]birds sing a song
And the [A]bees buzz along
In the [D]tree
Be[G]fore too long I have to get down
But there’s so much trouble down [D]there on the [G]ground
[G]While I stay up here I can’t be found
And trouble can’t find [A]me [A7]
So [D]here I be sitting in a tree
Watching the world go [A]on around [D]me
[D]Not one soul looking up to see me
While I’m [Em]sitting up above
Like a [A]sparrow or a dove
In the [D]tree
[G]So much better than being on the ground
Where I’m sure I’d be [D]easily [G]found
[G]And we all know what rolls on down
Wouldn’t want it rolling down on [A]me [A7]
[D]So I’ll keep on sitting in a tree
Just about as happy as [A]I can [D]be
[D]Enjoying myself a nice cool breeze
And the [Em]birds as they sing
And the [A]buzzing of the bees
In the [D]tree
