The Bonsai Tree
# Enjoy playing this on guitar, but I think the original song
# is on a ukulele. If you want to try it on the uke, here's
# how to do the chord shapes I think R. Hunter plays on it:

A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
You told me the rain would be coming
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
Down, so I stayed inside with my bottle
A Amaj7
I heard what you said, I always hear
Dmaj7 E
I just don't learn so good, I know I should listen more
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
Carefully, more carefully
D6 E A Asus2
You said our love was like a bonsai tree
D6 E A Amaj7
And of course, you were right
D6 E A Asus2
Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy
E D6
To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
Oh how the light reflected off you when you came to me
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
Ya floated like Mary into my darkened room
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
We were there once things were fine, I was yours, you were mine
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 E
We had it all, it was ours, oh my god, below the stars
D6 E A Asus2
And then you told me our love is like a bonsai tree
D6 E A Amaj7
And I knew you were right
D6 E A Asus2
Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy
E D6
To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
# Another verse progression, ending with an A.
