Bm           A7     G6
Hunted down I came upon
D  C                 Bm
A place of ferns and grass
Bm       A7          G6
Gathered to a redbud tree
D    C                Bm
And now their footsteps pass

Bm        A7       G6
Where I crouch in dread
D     C              Bm
Discovery my certain death
Bm        A7              G6
Bur leaves reaching for my head
D    C          Bm
As i suspend my breath  

         D         Em/G          B
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
        Em/G         A9           B
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
                   
[Solo] Bm  A7  G6

Bm            A7       G6       
Those days of fear are gone
D      C           Bm
Yet i am pledged to her
Bm    A7     G6
As to my only one
D    C     Bm
My lovely protector

         D         Em/G          B
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
        Em/G         A9          B
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me   
         D         Em/G          B

Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
