Verse 1:
GG Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 
          EE Piano Chord 
           AmAm Piano Chord 

For seven years I've stood right here
DmDm Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 

And the flowers grow green by day
GG Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
          EE Piano Chord 
     AmAm Piano Chord 

All for the yarns that I was told
DmDm Piano Chord 
        BbBb Piano Chord 
        DmDm Piano Chord 
        AmAm Piano Chord 

I spread my arms when they grew cold
DmDm Piano Chord 
     FF Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 

And warded off the rain

Chorus:
CC Piano Chord 
                    GG Piano Chord 

The bigger the tree, the deeper the root
FF Piano Chord 
                     CC Piano Chord 

The grass that is trodden underfoot
AmAm Piano Chord 

Give it time
DmDm Piano Chord 
     FF Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 

And it'll surely rise again

DmDm Piano Chord 
 FF Piano Chord 
 AmAm Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 


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

(chorus)

(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)

If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse,
I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
