Strum

 For  seven  years I've  stood right here
 And  the flowers  grow green  by day
 All  for the yarns  that I was  told
 I  spread my arms  when they  grew cold
 And  warded  off the  rain
 The  bigger the tree, the  deeper the root
 The  grass that is trodden  underfoot
 Give  it time
 And  it'll  surely  rise again
 
 I'm rocked by winds and I'm soaked by rains
 And I'll bow and sometimes bend
 Until I fall and crush the forms
 Of a few small friends who stood through storms
 And who will rise again
 (chorus)
 (guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)
 It's laughter? dust, the Derby's just
 Redo? it or be done
 Wild? to wind and wise to pain
 Wizard of the worldly game
 Treasoned into trust
 (chorus)
 (guitar solo over verse and chorus chords to fade)
 If anyone knows the real lyrics, especially the third verse,
 I would greatly appreciate someone sending them to me.
