Tree By The River

G 320003 C 332000 Am xx2010 G C mary anne , do you remember Am the tree by the river G when we were seventeen? G C dark canyon wall , the call and the answer Am and the mare in the pasture G pitch black and baring its teeth . i recall the sun in our faces , stuck and leaning on braces , and being strangers to change . radio and the bones we found frozen , and all the thorns and the roses beneath your window pane . Am G now im asleep in a car , i mean the world Am to a potty - mouth girl , G a pretty pair of blue - eyed birds . Am G time isnt kind or unkind , you liked to say . Am but i wonder to who G what it is youre saying today . now im asleep in a car , i mean the world to a potty - mouth girl , a pretty pair of blue - eyed birds . time isnt kind or unkind , you liked to say . but i wonder to who what it is youre saying today . mary anne , do you remember the tree by the river when we were seventeen? dark canyon road , i was coy in the half - moon; happy just to be with you , and you were happy for me .
