(Intro) 

D    A    G    D 


(Verse) 
     
    D                                 A 
My love was like a seed that you had planted 
           
    G                                  D 
The root was not as strong as it could be 
         
    D                                 A 
But as the years went on, you weren't enchanted 
               
        G                        D 
So you fell it like a great big tree 
                   

 
  
                 A        G       D 
Now I'm falling timber, timber, timber 

A               G     F 
Timber the falling tree 


(Verse) 

    D                                 A 
My heart was not a thing to take for granted 
        
    G                             D 
So loosen up your hold and let me be 
                                    
    D                              A 
And if I had my way you would be planted 

G                          D 
Drowning in the shade with me. 
                 




                A          G      D 
Now I'm calling timber, timber, timber  

A                   G      F 
Timber the falling tree...eee
