Bb       F                Bb    F 
Hear the trees, hear them whispering 
          Bb      F    C  
They tell stories of a king 
        Bb     F            Bb     F

    Bb    F  C  
For His returning

Only shaken in your teeth  
     Bb     F              Bb      F 
Do I know enough, strangest kind of love

But it’s pain that wakens me

For in death they turn to gold

Like this may not be the end
