D         G
Bless me, Lord
    Em   G     D        Em       G
I'm only after what you promised me
   D         G         Em       G      
So break me, Lord, and with the pieces 
D    Em      G
make another tree
D    Em      G
Make another tree
D  Em       G
He spoke to me
D  Em       G
He spoke to me

[Chorus]
          A                            G
He said, "Take only that which you can carry on your back
A                              G           D
Just leave the children in the yard and in time,
        Em             D        
they'll gladly turn to dust."

[Verse 2]
D      G        Em     G     
Let me lay here in the grass
D   Em    G
All eternity
D       G        Em           G
Let the wind and rain consume me
D      Em      G
Then I will be free
D Em      G
I will be free
D Em      G
I want it now
D Em      G
I want it now

[Chorus]
      A                           G
So, "Take only that which you can carry on your back
A                              G           D
Just leave the children in the yard and in time,
        Em             D
they'll gladly turn to dust."
    Em             G
And if they handed me the gold,
    D                  G
I'd slap it from their hands
Em                G
Then I'd kiss and mourn the sheep
A
That can't understand
A
They won't understand

[Verse 3]
D         G
Bless me, Lord
    Em   G     D        Em       G
I'm only after what you promised me
   D        G        Em       G      
So break me lord and with the pieces 
D    Em      G
make another tree
D    Em      G
Make another tree
D    Em      G
Make another tree
