I Plant This Tree by Lake Fork Verne



      I Plant This Tree 


 
D
There it is,
                         A
I planted it for you and me
   D       G        D
It is also hers and his
                A             D
That small twig will become a tree
 
[Chorus]
                   G              D
You are never too old to plant a tree
                           A
It will be there to fill a need
    D             G              D
For young and old whatever their need
                        A          D
So----time out, while I plant this tree
 
                       G            D
It could be white oak, ash or maybe pine
                              A
Made into ship keels, or sail masts
   D         G              D
Or the wheel on a steamship line
              A                  D
Used for many things by pioneers past
 
         G      D
Now even timber waste
                             A
Becomes the much needed bio- mass
          D  G      D
Converted to needed fuel
                   A       D
Including auto and natural gas
 
  G                                     D
A sight to behold, to those here, early on
                              A
Timberland spread from sea to sea
    D                G                D
And with proper care it will never be gone
                  A              D
You are never too old to plant a tree
