[C] [Am]
They cut down the willow tree
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G] [C]
By the pond
[Am]
And I grieved
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
Like I lost a friend
[C] [Am]
They put in a bank
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
On Fairview avenue
[C] [Am]
Not that thats bad
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
It’s just something new
[C] [Am]
All of my friends
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
Are in different states
[C] [Am]
I hate the summers here
[C/B]
How did they escape?
[Cmaj9/G] [C]
don’t know why I've stayed
[Am] [C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
[C] [Am] [C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
[C] [Am] [C/B]
Am I changing with my hometown?
[Cmaj9/G]
Or am I the same?
[C] [Am]
How can I grow if my roots have
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G] [C]
used up all the nutrients?
[Am] [C/B]
Wandering the same roads
[Cmaj9/G] [C]
Over and over
[Am] [C/B]
Wondering where else I could go
[Cmaj9/G] [C]
Scared no where feels like home anymore
[
[C] [Am]
They’re putting in condos
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
Everywhere
[C] [Am]
Exchanging fields
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
For more city air
[C] [Am]
There’s nothing left
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
I recognize
[C] [Am]
Not that that’s bad
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
It just makes me cry
[C] [Am]
All of my friends
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
Are in different states
[C] [Am]
I hate the summers here
[C/B]
How did they escape?
[Cmaj9/G] [C]
I dont think I can stay here
[Am] [C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
[C] [Am] [C/B] [Cmaj9/G]
[C] [Am] [C/B]
I know I’m changing with my hometown
[Cmaj9/G]
I don’t feel the same
[C] [Am]
But how will I grow if my roots have
[C/B] [Cmaj9/G] [C]
used up all the nutrients
[Am] [C/B]
Wandering the same roads
[Cmaj9/G] [C]
over and over
[Am] [C/B]
Wondering where I should go now
[Cmaj9/G] [C]
I don’t think this is home anymore
