Trees We'll Never See

Intro:
Ab

Verse:
                          Ab  
Good, sweet earth
          Ab                                 
Sleeves rolled up and hands buried in the dirt
                                                             Fm 
I can see her there in one of dad's old shirts
  Db                                                      Ab
Showing me how life's supposed to work

Verse 2:
                           Ab
Good straight lines
                    Ab                           
You need seed and sweat 
                                        Ab
and soil and sweet sunshine
                                                                       Fm
And once those roots take hold you'll be just fine

Pre-Chorus:
                    Db
It's a beautiful design
                        Bbm      Ab/C         Db             Eb
It just takes love and faith and grace, a little time

Chorus:
            Ab                 Eb/G  
We're all sons and daughters
                Fm              Db
Just ripples on the water
Ab                         Eb/G
   Tryna make it matter
 Fm                          Db
Until our time to leave
                                 Ab                Eb/G
One day they'll carve your name in stone
               Fm                      Db
Then send your soul on home
           Eb              Ab
'Til then it's praying for rain
                 Eb/G            Db 
And pulling up the weeds
                                            Ab
Planting trees we'll never see

Verse 3:
                         Ab 
First day of spring
                  Ab      
The whole world’s waking up and turning green
                                                     Fm
And everything connects to everything

Pre-Chorus:
                               Db
It's a beautiful design
                       Bbm        Ab/C       Db                 Eb 
It just takes love and faith and grace, a little time

Chorus:
      Ab                         Eb/G  
We're all sons and daughters
              Fm              Db
Just ripples on the water
Ab                          Eb/G
  Tryna make it matter
 Fm                         Db
Until our time to leave
       Eb           Ab                             Eb/G
One day they'll carve your name in stone
                Fm                     Db
Then send your soul on home
         Eb            Ab
'Til then it's praying for rain
               Eb/G            Db 
And pulling up the weeds
                                             Ab    Ab
Planting trees we'll never see

Bridge:
Bbm            Ab/C              Db
  Statues fall and glory fades
                 Bbm               
But a hundred-year-old 
    Ab/C                    Db    
oak tree still gives shade

Chorus:
  Ab                             Eb/G  
We're all sons and daughters
                Fm              Db
Just ripples on the water
Ab                        Eb/G
  Tryna make it matter
 Fm                           Db
Until our time to leave
                              Ab                      Eb/G
One day they'll carve your name in stone
               Fm                        Db
Then send your soul on home
        Eb          Ab
'Til then it's praying for rain
               Eb/G            Db 
And pulling up the weeds
                           Ab
'Til then it's praying for rain
                Eb/G            Db 
And pulling up the weeds
                      Eb                   Ab 
Planting trees we'll never see

Outro:
                                Ab  
Trees we'll never see
