Intro:
Dm F Am G

Verse 1:
    G     C          E           Am
For seven years I've stood right here
        Dm           F        G
And the flowers grow green by day
G           C          E     Am
All for the yarns that I was told
  Dm        Bb        Dm        Am
I spread my arms when they grew cold
    Dm     F       C
And warded off the rain

Chorus:
    C                    G
The bigger the tree, the deeper the root
    F                     C
The grass that is trodden underfoot
        Am
Give it time
          Dm     F     C
And it'll surely rise again

Dm F Am G

Verse 2:
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
And I'll bow and sometimes bend
Until I fall and crush the forms
Of a few small friends who stood through storms
And who will rise again

(chorus)

(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)

Verse 3:
It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just
Redo? it or be done
Wild? to wind and wise to pain
Wizard of the worldly game
Treasoned into trust
