Birch Trees And Broken Barns Chords & Tabs
Birch Trees And Broken Barns Chords
I worked this tab out on the ukulele, since Caroline
plays it on a ukulele. So technically, this is a ukulele
tab, but I played it through on a guitar, and it sounds
okay. I will give you specifics on both, just in case.
----------------
Chords:
No capo, both uke and guitar are played open
Optionally, you can play guitar with capo on 5, only strumming strings 1-4 (bottom
4 strings), and use the chords for the ukulele.

G C C7M G
If we were kids again
C C7M G
we'd hang out almost everyday
C C7M G
Running through woods at dawn
C C7M G
finding the magic in things
C C7M G
You'd help me up the tree
C C7M G
holding me up to the top of the branches
C C7M G
Open your book to read
C C7M E
the story that felt like we were already in

C G D
Where you're the king of the apple trees
E C G D
In the orchard where I'd come to eat
G C C7M G
Where we'd pull the wings off bees
C C7M G
To build a bed in the top of the barn
C C7M G
Humming through grass we'd sing
C C7M E
out in the fields with the wind in our ears
C G D
Where nights are long and in the day
E C
you'd paint and I'd write about outer space
E C G D
Where I'm the queen of the creek
E C G D
and the banks where you come to drink
G C C7M G
Swimming through birch and bark
C C7M G
tell you my secrets of how I can fly
C C7M G
And I'll show you how tonight
C C7M E
over bread and some white wine on ice
C G D
And I'll draw a bath and we'll cram in
E C G D
And we'll write this story as we begin
And on the bus we're still living
E C G D
in the pages of our book that we have written
E C G D
And as if the wheels have turned to wings
E C G D
Traveled back to our world filled with birch trees & broken barns
