	        Intro: 
Dm F Am G 
 
Verse 1: 
    G     C          E           Am 
For seven years I've stood right here 
        Dm           F        G 
And the flowers grow green by day 
G           C          E     Am 
All for the yarns that I was told 
  Dm        Bb        Dm        Am 
I spread my arms when they grew cold 
    Dm     F       C 
And warded off the rain 
 
Chorus: 
    C                    G 
The bigger the tree, the deeper the root 
    F                     C 
The grass that is trodden underfoot 
        Am 
Give it time 
          Dm     F     C 
And it'll surely rise again 
 
Dm F Am G 
 
Verse 2: 
I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains 
And I'll bow and sometimes bend 
Until I fall and crush the forms 
Of a few small friends who stood through storms 
And who will rise again 
 
(chorus) 
 
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords) 
 
Verse 3: 
It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just 
Redo? it or be done 
Wild? to wind and wise to pain 
Wizard of the worldly game 
Treasoned into trust 
 
(chorus) 
 
(guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade) 
 
 
If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse, 
I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
