LYRICS/CHORDS

Knotty Pine


(E) She's my knotty pine, (A/B) she leans with the wind
(Bsus4) She cries turpen(E)tine
Some(A)times she nettles (Bsus4) me but I don't (E) mind
(Bm7) Only now and (A) then, (G) when her branches (A) bend beneath the (E) snow

She's knotty but nice, reaching for the sky
She don't like snow or ice
To leave things as they stand is my advice
She's been good to me, so I tend to go there when I can  (Amaj7) (Bsus4) (E)

She's my knotty pine, such a pretty scene
She tries to be kind
She gives birds a home and shelters them
In her coat of green, she's as green as evergreen can be

She's a real delight, when little breezes call
To ruffle up her skin, all her sap runs free and sticks to me
Hidden deep within, I will be her slave eternally  (Amaj7) (Bsus4) (E) (A/B) (Bsus4) (E)

She's my knotty pine, sunlight in her hair
By the serpentine
Though she is independent I don't mind
Standing over there, just beyond that maple on the right

She's knotty but wise, she holds her anger in
Trees are her disguise
Cones are taking root before my eyes
Find them if you can, among her boughs she keeps them out of sight

She's my knotty pine, she leans with the wind
She crys turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me but I don't mind
Only now and then, when her branches bend beneath the snow
