Birch Trees And Broken Barns Uke tab by Caroline Smith And The Goodnight Sleeps

G           C   C7    G
If we were kids again
      C              C7       G
we'd hang out almost everyday
                C        C7    G
Running through woods at dawn
             C        C7     G
finding the magic in things

              C      C7    G
You'd help me up the tree
           C         C7          G
holding me up to the top of the branches
          C       C7     G
Open your book to read
                C           C7          E
the story that felt like we were already in

      C          G                 D
Where you're the king of the apple trees
E     C           G                 D
In the orchard where I'd come to eat

G                   C         C7     G
Where we'd pull the wings off bees
           C          C7         G
To build a bed in the top of the barn
                C          C7      G
Humming through grass we'd sing
            C              C7          E
out in the fields with the wind in our ears

      C           G              D
Where nights are long and in the day
E         C
you'd paint and I'd write about outer space
E        C        G            D
Where I'm the queen of the creek
E        C         G               D
and the banks where you come to drink

G                 C         C7     G
Swimming through birch and bark
             C          C7       G
tell you my secrets of how I can fly
                   C     C7      G
And I'll show you how tonight
       C              C7         E
over bread and some white wine on ice
          C      G                  D
And I'll draw a bath and we'll cram in
E             C            G           D
And we'll write this story as we begin

And on the bus we're still living
E           C            G                  D
in the pages of our book that we have written
E          C        G                    D
And as if the wheels have turned to wings
E             C           G                        D
Traveled back to our world filled with birch trees & broken barns
