Verse 1
(G major) In the (C major) state of Georgia,
some (F major) years ago,
beneath a big, tall (C major) pine tree, (G major)
a baby boy was (C major) born.
The mother never (G major) awakened,
her spirit moved on. (F major)
That morning, just after (G major) dawn,
some neighbors came (D minor) along, (G major)
and just like I was their own, (E minor)
(F major) They took me in and raised me,
and (G major) it became a legend about
me (C major) and the old pine tree.
(A major) The old tree was my refuge
when (D minor) I needed a place to cry,
and listen (G major) ing to the winds
toss her limbs about,
why (C major) sometimes it would make a sound
that would almost make me freeze.
In a low whisper, the old tree would (F major) say,
You belong to me. (G major)
Oh, there were days I used to
run and play
And climb (C major) the old tree
almost to (G major) the very top
Because, you see,
(F major) I felt safe playing there.
(G major) The old tree and I talked a lot. (D minor)
(G major) Why, I can still remember my first (E minor) date
(F major) And how we ended up
at the old vine tree.
We (G major) held hands and made plans
(C major) for future things to be
But suddenly (A major) the old tree was restless
An (D minor) d again I heard the whispers,
you (G major) belong to me
Well (C major) the years went by and I was grown
And I wanted to see the world,
seeking for (G major) tune and fame (C major)
Oh it was a long hard road
(F major) but soon it came
And riches, (G major) it just seemed to fall my way
And I'd (C major) al ways say,
it's just old lucky me.
An (G major) d yet, I recall in my lonely (F major) moments,
the whispers of (G major) the old pine tree.
But you know,
life is not always (E minor) full of roses, (F major)
because sometimes we hit (G major) some thorns.
And I had this (C major) pain building up in my chest
that just (A major) kept lingering on and on.
(D minor) So, I finally went to see a doctor, (G major)
and with a grim face,
(C major) he broke the news.
You've got about 90 days to live, son.
Give or take a few. (F major)
Oh, this can't (A major) be me. (G major)
Why, I'm too full of life and fun. (C major)
But suddenly, I (G major) heard the whispers
of the old pine tree. (F major)
Well, right then,
I headed (G major) back to where I was born.
Because, you know, it just seemed
that with all (F major) the wealth that I had gained,
(G major) the old tree meant the most to me. (C major)
And as I drove to the spot
(A major) where my life began,
Oh, (D minor) I could hardly believe my eyes.
(G major) The old tree was gone
and the ground (C major) was bare,
and at that moment I lost all hope
with the old tree not being there. (F major)
So I placed a marker
(G major) and then went back to town
to (C major) buy that little piece of ground.
(G major) And as I walked into that cold old building
(F major) to make my final plans,
(G major) there was something over in the corner
that caught my eye,
and (E minor) for just (F major) a moment I
didn't understand. (G major)
So I walked a little closer, (C major)
and oh, my soul became (A major) at ease,
because from a big pine
(D minor) box came the whispers
of (G major) the old pine tree
saying (C major) son you belong
to me (F major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (F major) (F major) (G major)
you
