Intro: Csus2 - C - G - D - Am (x2) 
 
 
Em                                           D               Dsus2 
In sticks down an old dirt road near a small Kentucky town 
Em                        D    Dsus2 
When his daddy would come home 
Em                               D             Dsus2  
Out past the old red barn in the sycamore tree 
Em                       D         Dsus2 
Here's where little Zack would go 
Em                       D         Dsus2 
And high above the guilt and pain 
Em                         D        Dsus2    D 
The only place that he was safe 
 
CHORUS: 
 
Csus2    C             G                D         Am 
Was high above, in the strong arms of a sycamore tree 
Csus2     C            G        D   Am 
You could hear a small voice in the wind 
Csus2  C             G       D       Am 
Saying please; don't let him do that to me 
Csus2   C          G 
Praying to be born again 
       D         Am 
In the sycamore tree 
 
 
Time went on as it always does and his daddy's time had come 
How it felt was hard to say 
He often wondered how he'd ever make it through 
But as they burried him that day - yeah 
	He realized 'It's not my fault' 
	And as the leaves began to fall 
 
From high above, in the strong arms of a sickamore tree 
You could hear forgiveness in the wind 
Sing it out; find the truth and the truth will set you free 
Broken chains and a heart on the mend 
Neath the sickamore tree 
 
Ou-------- 
Ou-------- 
And like an answer to his prayer 
As he watched his child playin' 
 
High above, in the strong arms of a sickamore tree 
You could hear a small voice in the wind 
Saying please; daddy won' t you come and play with me 
In the sickamore tree 
The sickamore tree 
 
Forgiveness will set you free 
Forgiveness; forgiveness 
Forgiveness will set you free 
Forgiveness; forgiveness
