This old man I've talked about[G]
Broke his own heart, poured it in the ground[C9] [G,C9,G]
Big red tree grew up and out[G]
Throwing up its leaves, spins 'round and 'round[C9] [G,C9,G,G,C9]

I know all this and more[A]

So take your hat off when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]

This little squirrel that I used to be[G]
Slammed her bike down the stairs[C9][G,C9,G]
They put silver where her teeth had been[G]
Baby, silvertooth, she grins and grins[C9] [G,C9,G,G,C9]

I know all this and more[A]

So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]
Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
Be there when I feed the tree[C9]

This old man I used to be[G]
Spins around, around, around, the tree[C9] [G,C9,G]
Silver, baby, come to me[G]
I'll only hurt you in my dreams[C9] [G,C9,G,G,C9]

I know all this and... I know all this and...[A,A]
I know all this and more[A]

So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]
Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]

[same as intro, end with four quick G's]
