My Tree
By: Chris Rice
D                                 A
On a hill faraway stands a tall mighty tree
G                                                                   A
Asus-A
Where a boy and girl used to take turns pushing a tire swing
D
I remember the pocketknife in hand
A
And her name in my heart
G
And thinkin’ there ain’t no way for a boy to contain
E                           F#
The love that he feels inside
G                            D
So I carved her name into my tree
G                          A
Then I carved a heart around her name
Bm                      G                   G/B
Then I carved an arrow through her heart
D                 G
Just to say, I love you
D                                    A
Now on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
G                                       A
The emblem of suffering and shame
D
I remember the nails through my hands
A
And your name in my heart
G
And how in their wordless way the nails explain
E                       F#
The love that I feel inside
G                              D
As they carved your name into my tree
G                             A
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Bm                          G                   G/B
Then I took your arrow through my heart
D
Just to say, I love you
G
Just to say, I love you
Bm          G                            D
Now I can never forget how much you mean to me
E               G
A                 F#
‘Cause I will always remember whenever I see
G                              D
Where I carved your name into my tree
G                             A
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Bm                     G                      G/B
Then I took an arrow through my heart
D             G
Just to say, I love you
D               G
Just to say, I love you
D             G            D (bass - B,A,G,D)
I really love you
