Verse 1

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

I took an air-rifle, shot a magpie to the ground

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

And it died without a sound

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

And no-one saw us but the trees

Chorus

Yeah, the tre---es, those useless tre---es

Produce the ai---r that I am breathing

Yeah, the tre---es, those useless tre---es

They never sa---id that you were leaving

Verse 2

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

I carved your name with a heart just up above

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

Now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable like our love

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

The smell of leaf mould and the sweetness of decay

Fmaj7* Fmaj7*

Are the incense at the funeral procession here today

Chorus

In the tre---es, those useless tre---es

Produce the ai---r that I am breathing

Yeah, the tre---es, those useless tre---es

They never sa---id that you were leaving

Bridge

You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be

Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me-----e-----

Oh no, I might as well - I might as well just go and tell it to the trees
