Chinaberry Tree

Em
In parallel sea what would I be?
   C                 F
My first love said to me,
                   C        E
"Tears out for the world to see"
           F
I would not be
                 C           F
I did not see the chinaberry tree
                    C
Tears out, it would feel so
 F
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Em
Hard now to picture a me
    C
Without a you, without a you

Em
  "Don't interfere"
           C         F
Part of her back was frozen
           C              F   A#
For the remainder of the war
 Em
"Don't be concerned"
    C                       F
But I never learned how not to be
      C                  Em
As my first love said to me,
        Fmaj7          Em
"I don't care. I'm not there."
   F                Em
So that I could not sleep
                   F          C
My whole being was falling apart
               F
So that I soon cried out,
               C
"Dear friends, hold me!"
