Capo 5
Standard
"Old Pine"
[Verse 1]
C
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
Am
I've come to know that memories
G
Were the best things you ever had
C
The summer shone beat down on bony backs
Am
So far from home where the ocean stood
G C Am G
Down dust and pine cone tracks
C
We slept like dogs down by the fire side
Am
Awoke to the fog all around us
G C Am G
The boom of summer time
[Chorus]
C
We stood
Em
Steady as the stars in the woods
C
So happy-hearted
Em
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
Am G
As the old pine fell we sang
C Am G
Just to bless the morning.

[Verse 2]
C
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
Am
I've come to know the friends around you
G
Are all you'll always have
C
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone
Am G
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
C Am G
With weightless souls now.
[Chorus]
C
We stood
Em
Steady as the stars in the woods
C
So happy-hearted
Em
And the warmth rang true inside these bones [x2]
Am G
As the old pine fell we sang
C Am G
Just to bless the morning.
C Am G
[Outro]
C
We grow, grow, steady as the morning
Am G
We grow, grow, older still
C
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
Am G
We grow, grow, older still
C
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
Am G
We grow, grow, older still
C
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
Am G
We grow, grow, older still
C Am G [x4]
End on C
