REDBUD TREE

Mark Knopfler

 

 

 

Intro: Dm


Dm             C     A#   F
Hunted down, I came upon
    D#                 Dm
A place of ferns and grass
          C            A#   F
Gathered to a redbud tree
     D#                  Dm
And now their footsteps pass

          C         A#    F
Where I crouch in dread
        D#            Dm
Discovery my certain death
            C               A#    F
Her leaves reaching for my head
   D#             Dm
As I suspend my breath


         F          Gm            D
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
         Gm           C           D
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

       C        A#    F     
Those days of fear are gone
    D#               Dm
Yet I am pledged to her
    C         A#    F
As to my only one
    D#         Dm
My lovely protector


         F          Gm            D
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
