I Just Couldnt See The Forest For The Trees

N.C. E7 N.C. A I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees Verse A D I was standing in tall timber E7 A E7 With many women on the line A D But somehow in the tangle of all those love affairs E7 A I overlooked the only one who cares N.C. A E7 I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees A That’s what’s been wrong with me E7 You never miss the water till the well runs dry A My sweet love said goodbye now I wish I could die E7 A D I thought that I I was a swinger E7 A E7 And had the whole world by the tail A D But I was wrong because the only thing that’s swinging E7 A Is the door that she walked through saying farewell N.C. A E7 I just couldn’t see the forest for the trees A That’s what’s been wrong with me E7 You never miss the water till the well runs dry A My sweet love said goodbye now I wish I could die
