Verse 1:
E A/C# B A
Black tree remember me from the time when we used to talk?
E A/C# B A

'Cos I find peace as I sit beneath your familiarity

Black tree remember me? I'm the one who moved away

E A/C# B A
But I'm more lost than I ever was and I need to know your truth
Verse 3:
E A/C# B A
Black tree remember me? I hoped you might
E A/C# B A
I was sure you saw me running through the night
E A/C# B A
So I cried out, yeah I screamed so loud for you to rescue me
E A/C# B A
But I was found without a sound in your company y-y
E A/C# B A
E A/C# B A
Company

Black tree remember me for the rest of time
E A/C# B A
When I go I hope they lay me by your side

You'll be free for eternity on the other side

version 3
The song uses a capo on the 2nd fret, however it only goes over the last 5 strings. That
to say, your fretboard should look like this:
E | 0
A | 2
D | 2
G | 2
B | 2
e | 2
Because the capo is not put on ALL strings, the tab will not be done in relation to the
Meaning, the fingerings you see are the actual fingerings from the start of the neck,
not from the capo. The notes that say '2' mean open. This is very important, or else the
won't work for you.
This same progression is fingerpicked throughout the whole song:
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping

Black tree, remember me?
From the time when we used to talk.
How strange, things have changed,
I don't know you anymore.
But you stayed the same,
That's why I came,
I need your clarity.
'Cause I find peace as I sit beneath
Your familiarity.

And I need to know you're true.
