Poison Tree

Em,C,G,D/F#
-The chords and progression are the same through out the entire song
-Except in the Chorus
[Verse 1]
Em              C
This tree bears strange fruit
                     G            D/F#
There’s blood on the leaves, it’s dead at the roots
Em                             C
The cracked, grey branches are decaying within
     G                          D/F#
Just like the black poison that hangs from it’s limbs

[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C      G              D/F#
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Em      C        G
Rip the deadness out
          D/F#      G
And plant something new

[Chorus]
G    Em            C
I am alive, I will abide
            Em              G
In the life giving blood of Christ
G           Em                   C
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
          Em                 G
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him

[Verse 2]
Em             C
I tried to tie good fruit
G                         D/F#
To a tree that had poison all the way through
Em                      C
It rotted and fell off, it was dead to the core
G                                D/F#
It even killed the ground, I was worse than before

[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C      G              D/F#
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Em      C        G
Rip the deadness out
          D/F#      G
And plant something new

[Chorus]
G    Em            C
I am alive, I will abide
            Em              G
In the life giving blood of Christ
G           Em                   C
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
          Em                 G
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him

[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C      G              D/F#
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Em      C                       D/F#      G
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new

[Chorus]
G    Em            C
I am alive, I will abide
            Em              G
In the life giving blood of Christ
G           Em                   C
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
          Em                 G
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him
