[Verse 1]

                     Bbm
A holly oak tree is shading me
        Cm                      Fm
Planted by a passerby tossing acorn seeds
                        Bbm
Till one takes hold and grows to be
           Cm                     Bbm
A shade of love inside a memory of
                    Fm
You and me and that holly oak tree


[Verse 2]

                 Fm                     Bbm
When we were young we could not afford fancy things, oh no
            Cm                                         Fm
So we would swing and one day we carved our names forever, eternity
           Fm                    Fm                    Bbm
But as our hearts and names distort as the oak grows to be


[Chorus]

            Cm                  Bbm
A shade of love inside a memory of
                    Fm
You and me and that holly oak tree
            Cm                 Bbm
A shade of love inside a memory of
                    Fm
You and me and that holly oak tree

I will be home  soon enough
   Bbm                   Fm
Nature will make sure of that
        Bbm            Fm
Even if I forget about her love song
    Bbm                        Cm                      C
I'm gently tapped on the back, (gently tapped on the back)
