          G          D/F#            Em        D 
There's a little ol' tree that grows out in my yard 
     C        Bm          A           D 
He's not very wide or too tall or too large 
   G               D/F#           Em            D 
He stands there so still 'til the wind comes to call 
         C               Bm                 D        G 
When the wind blows, the little tree starts having a ball 



   C                          G 
He swings and he sways and he shakes all his limbs 
    D                        G 
The little ol' tree loves to dance with the wind 
   C                            G 
He rustles and bustles when the wind comes to call 
                        D             G    Em  D  C 
He dances so hard, I'm afraid he will fall 



   G          D/F#            Em         D 
He dances all summer and when snow comes down 
   C          Bm             A             D 
He dances and throws all his leaves on the ground 
   G           D/F#         Em          D 
He makes me so mad, I say, "Hey, if you please 
          C         Bm           D              G 
Would you stop that dancing each time there's a breeze?" 



   C                          G 
He swings and he sways and he shakes all his limbs 
    D                        G 
The little ol' tree loves to dance with the wind 
   C                            G 
He rustles and bustles when the wind comes to call 
                        D             G    D/F#  Em  D 
He dances so hard, I'm afraid he will fall 
G#  D#  Fm  D# 


 
     G#       D#         Fm           D# 
Now, I cannot dance very well, you'll agree 
    C#          Cm           A#           D# 
But sometimes I wish I could dance like a tree 
    G#            D#           Fm           D# 
I'd swing and I'd sway and I'd shake all my limbs 
        C#         Cm              D#           G# 
And I'd never fall down 'cause I'd be just like him 



   C#                         G# 
He swings and he sways and he shakes all his limbs 
    D#                       G# 
The little ol' tree loves to dance with the wind 
   C#                           G# 
He rustles and bustles when the wind comes to call 
                        D#            G# 
He dances so hard, I'm afraid he will fall 
N.C. 
But he never does!
