We'd like to do a song from a
Broadway show.
Paint

Wagon, and the song is I
Talk to the

Trees.
Em
Am
D
I talk to the trees
G
And they never listen to me
D
G
But they never hear me.
Am
The breeze hasn't time
D
G
To stop and hear what I say.
Am
D
I talk to them all
Am
But suddenly my words
D
G
Read someone else's ears.
Em
G
D
Touch someone else's heart
G
Every time that I hear you sing that song
I think, boy, what a stupid song
But you really pick a fine time
Well, I wanted to surprise you
Yes, you succeeded
You surprised me
But for your information
Talk to the
Trees is not stupid
It's from a hit
Broadway show
Entitled
Paint
Your
Wagon
Which was a great show
A lot of great songs
Painter wagon?
Sounds like a stupid show and a
stupid song
And anybody can make it with a
show or a song like that
It's got to be a stupid dumb weirdo freak
All right, I agree with you
The show happens to be about a
young man very much like yourself
Maybe I spoke a little hastily there
it's about a young man very much like my
brother he's young and shy and bashful
very timid but he's so much in love and
that makes everything all right he was
so much in love it was his first love but
he was so bashful that he was afraid
to tell his sweetheart that he loved her
G
and she knew not of his love but he had
to tell someone or something because of
this frustration this terrible feeling
was building up within him and finally
he did a very beautiful thing he went
G
Did he tell her that he loved her?
No.
He never did.
He wished he could.
G
He wished he had the courage to walk up to her and take her by the hand
and look deeply into her eyes and say very simply and truthfully,
I love you.
G
And I only hope that one day you may grow to
love me half as much as I love you right now.
I will.
Because
I...
That's just enough.
But he couldn't do that.
in the countryside
and he tried to communicate
with mother nature's
wise old trees and talk to these trees
and tell these marvels of nature's,
these wise old trees of his great
He's a real nut.
No, he's not a nut.
Sneaking off into the forest
to talk to the trees.
Tommy, that's not what he did.
Hi there,
Mr.
Tree.
How are you?
How's
Mrs.
Tree?
All the little bushes.
Guy like that wouldn't
talk to a fire
He didn't.
Fire hydrant?
What do you mean fire
Hi there, fire hydrant.
Somebody just been talking to this big
old tree over here.
Certainly have a lot in common, you two.
All right, now that is just enough.
you.

you.
Thank

Thank
Tommy,
don't you understand at all?
a second.
Hi there, stage.
Used to be a tree, didn't ya?
You are a very shallow,
callow individual.
You have made fun of this song.
You haven't even tried to
understand.
Who's your fat friend?
It used to be a treat, didn't ya,
Paddy?
You leave my bass alone
See you hang around
with the wrong type of people
Shut up!
You really should be proud of yourself
Really, you should be very proud of yourself
You stood up here and you ridiculed me
You ridiculed this song,
you ridiculed a wonderful show
And you think everybody's
proud of you out there
You think they're all looking up there and saying, oh,
why?
Isn't he a sharp, clever boy?
No, they're all staring at you
They're staring and wondering and they've
you know what you've shown them
You've shown them how crass how shallow how unfeeling an individual
can be how totally void of any poetic beauty in your entire makeup
You're tired soul.
You didn't understand the song you
ridiculed me and you come down
I'm not you too.
That's all I've got to say you you what?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah
I don't care what you do know you didn't like go ahead you
talked you talked mean to mean and you said that I am
any sensitivity and I was a crass shallow
person. I happen to be a person too
Dickie and I have
sensitivity and I have feeling and I have love
in my heart. I'm sensitive to every little blade
of grass that grows,
but I wouldn't talk to them.
you.
