G On a tree inside a C heart
A dull boy scout D knife took half a day to G carve
Michael G loves Caro C line
He'd just turned D ten and she was G nine
The summer G she turned sweet six C teen
He finally found his D nerve and took her out to G see
And what she G saw through her C tears
Was seven D hearts for seven G years
And they C stood be G neath the D tree of hearts G
And they C watched their G feelings grow D
And they C swore they'd G never D be apart G
Em True love C left its ma D rk
C On the D tree of he G arts
The tenth G time he carved their C names
Caro D line's dad was giving her a G way
There be G neath the shelter C of
The tree of D hearts they pledged their G love
And then C four hearts down the G road
They brought the C first of Em two born D home
And they C played be G neath the D tree of hearts G
And they C watched their G children grow D
Where they C swore they'd G never D be apart G
Em True love C left its ma D rk
C On the D tree of he G arts
In the C blinking Em of an D eye
Somehow C fifty-seven D hearts flew by
Fifty- G eight, fifty- C nine
Sixty, D he missed Caro G line
Sixty- G one, Michael C knew
There wouldn't D be a sixty-two G
Now they C lay be G neath the D tree of hearts G
You can C watch their G love still grow D
Where they C swore they'd G never D be apart G
Em True love C left its ma D rk
C On my D tree of he G arts
Note that the rhythm in this song is kind of odd, so you're usually
switching chords in a place that looks funny on paper. You should
definitely listen to the song to get a handle on the rhythm before you
try anything. I don't know if this is the same key as Bryan sings it
in, because I put chords to it in a key that my voice can handle, but as
transcribed it sounds all right. If you have any corrections, feel free
to e-mail me.
