Forest Chords - David Beckingham

Intro

E G#m D#m E Oooh, oooh 4x

Verse 1

B D# E B My oh my, how I waited for the night D# to come E B D# But when it did I missed the day. B D# Cold and numb, E B I stood praying for the sun D# E But when it came I missed the feeling G#m D# Of the pretty rain.

Chorus

E G#m D#m And I want to be like a pine In the middle of a snowstorm-- E G#m D#m Stood in the ground, All around me the weight of the wind. E F# G#m F# I want to bear what is real And forsake all the other C# things E I want to be the forest (I want to be the forest) F# I want to be the ground (I want to be the ground) E A solitary chorus (A solitary chorus) F# I want to be the sound (I want to be the sound)

Verse 2

B D# E B By and by, how I waited for a time D# But when it came E B D# I just let it slip away B D# And now it's gone, E B and that cannot be undone, D# So in my mind, E B D# I go begging for another day.

Chorus

E G#m D#m 'Cause I want to be like a pine In the middle of a snowstorm-- E G#m D#m Stood in the ground All around me the weight of the wind. E F# G#m F# I want to bear what is real And forsake all the other C# things E I want to be the forest (I want to be the forest) F# I want to be the ground (I want to be the ground) E A solitary chorus (A solitary chorus) F# A I want to be the sound

Bridge

as the water runs G#m Down the hills from us B And turns to leaves in the trees And they freeze E and all fall to brittle piles. A Every once G#m Every once in a little while, B I want to breathe, E just Like a little child C# Like a little child E Like a little child E

Verse 3

B D# E B My oh my, how I waited for the light D# but when it came E I just missed the darkness.

Final Chorus
