Trees On Fire

Tom: A

A D A E A (2x)

A          D        A
Love is a Christmas tree
                E               A
But don't pick any old tree you see
             D     A
Some have a long expire
                 E             A    E F#m
Turn your house into a funeral pyre

[Chorus]
      E                          D                A
And I watered that tree 'til the branches rose up higher
       E                        D               A
And it drank drank drank but it kept on gettin' drier
       A
Now it burns burns burns
     D         A           E        A
This tree's on fire, this tree's on fire

[Verse]
    A              D         A
The heat from the smoke and pine
                E           A
Melted my copy of "Walk the Line"
                    D            A
And I tried to save "A Boy Named Sue"
          E             A   E F#m
But dang, it cooked him too

[Chorus]
    E                      D               A 
The cat walked in set my Christmas tree on fire
    E                               D                   A
He climbed climbed climbed hit some bulbs and tripped a wire
              A
That's when I learned furn burns
     D         A           E        A
This tree's on fire, this tree's on fire

A D A E A         A D A E A  E F#m
         Damn cats

[Chorus]
  E            D                 A
I dove into my Christmas tree of fire
      E                                  D                A
And I huffed and puffed and spit but the flame would not expire
       A
Boy it burns burns burns
      D         A          E        A
This tree's on fire, this tree's on fire
