To keep oneself intact
Chorus:

The Trees Tom: D Intro: D F#m C#m A E G A Bm A/Bm Bm
D F#m
There is unrest in the forest,
C#m A
There is trouble with The Trees,
E G
For the Maples want more sunlight
A Bm A/Bm Bm
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.
D F#m C#m A E G A Bm A/Bm Bm D A Bm F#m G
A Bm
The trouble with the maples
G D A
and they're quite convinced they're right
Bm
they say the Oaks are just too lofty
G D A
and they grab up all the light
Bm
but the Oaks can't help their feelings
G D A
If they like the way they're made
F#m
And they wonder why the maples
G
Can't be happy in their shade
A A/G A/F# A/E
D
There is trouble
F#m
In the forest
C#m A
And the creatures all have fled
E
while the maples
G A
scream "Opression"
Bm A/Bm Bm
and the oaks just shake their heads
D F#m C#m A E G A Bm A/Bm Bm
Solo
A Bm
So the maples formed a union
G D A
and demanded equal rights
A Bm
"The Oaks are just too greedy;
G D A
We will make them give us light."
Bm
Now there's no more Oak opression
G D A
for they passed a noble law
F#m
and the trees are all kept equal
G A
by hatchet, axe, and saw.
