I often sit alone up in a tree
C
waving to the ones that wave at me
| D | G5/D |
C E
I think well just how stupid can they be
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
G7 G C
waving to a man up in a tree

what they don't know is I am counting them

I even count the ladies and the men
| D | G5/D |
C E
I put the numbers in my little book
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
G7 G C
and only me can ever have a look
F Em
all I ask is a piece of mind
G7 C
which I lost somewhere down amongst the mess
D
all I want is for people to be kind
Dm G
and walk slower to be counted when they pass

I think well just how stupid can they be

G7 G C
waving to a man up in a tree

I know that I will have to stop my fun

when I meet a girl who I can not count on

C E
maybe marry her and happy we would be

G7 G C
not counting but just sitting up a tree

I put the numbers in my little book
| Dm | Ddim/G# |
G7 G C
and only me can ever have a look
