(Electric
version)
(D5)
Now
a woman Lord is like a young bird
And the
tall oak (C5) tree
(G) is a young man's
(D5) heart
Among its
boughs you'll find her nesting
When the
nights are (C5) cool
(G)
she is warm and
(D5) dry
Your
coat
of green it will protect her
Her wings
will grow your love will too
But all
too soon your mighty branches
Will cease
to hold her she'll fly from you
Now
the
way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes
have flown to come no more
Like a
tall oak tree alone and crying
When the
birds have flown and the nest is bare
When the
birds have flown and the nest is bare
