Tonart: A major•
Verse 1
A
I heard my father's voice
call from the drive
On a cold December night,
Esus4
D
A
There stood the homely street
D
that he'd ever want to see,
A
F#m
He said, you grab the shovel
A
C#m
A
and you hold the light,
D
cause I've brought an orphan home
Bm
D
with me tonight.
Esus4
D
Esus4
E
My father's tree
E
and every leaf would struggle
F#m
D
Bm
D
And in the spring be born anew,
Esus4
E
A
the holly tree my father grew.
I used to ask why mother didn't stay,
D
he'd take another drink and say,
Esus4
A
I never could
admit I drank too much,
it was an old familiar crutch
F#m
And he'd point to the tree,
A
saying, take it from me
D
Learn to stand on your own
or you will break
Esus4
E
My father's tree
Esus4
E
A
was ten feet tall
E
And every leaf would struggle
F#m
D
Bm
D
And in the spring, be born anew,
Esus4
E
A
the holly tree my father grew.
E
Esus4
A
And the green leaves and the berries
Esus4
E
A
shine like rubies in the snow.
and the memories last
Esus4
D
F#m
in those old photographs
B
E
to see how much we've grown
my father's tree can
Esus4
E
A
reach the sky
E
A
and every leaf does honor to his life
F#m
D
Forever proud, forever true
Bm
D
Esus4
E
A
The holly tree my father grew
