Peter may be playing some variations of these chords, particularly in the verses,
but strumming upwards definitely helps reach a sound closer to the original song.
In the instrumental before the first chorus, to best match the notes that Peter is
picking, the chords can be strummed/fingerpicked as follows:
- 133213 (Or, if you don't have incredibly flexible hands, 13x213)
Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep
Even if you remove them
Branches and limbs are intangible things
That's a fact, but it's not been proven
I am alive but I am not blinking
I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing
Pull up my roots, I am replanted
I'm growing back, you can take it for granted
I'll abandon my flaws if you call off this song
Don't cut me down
I was reeling with drought, so I moved up and out
But I stay in the ground
I am alive, but I am not blinking
I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing
I pull up my roots, but I am replanted
I'm growing back, you can take that for granted
Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep
Even if you remove them.
