[Verse 1]
Am              G     C
On the road in Tennessee
         Am          G       C
I was surrounded by fallen trees
   Am           G       C
But I saw one standin' tall…
          Am        G     C
And as I looked in, I saw me

[Chorus]
    G            Am
Confused by the sight,
           G        C
‘Cause I thought I might
             G              
Be ready to fall… fall… fall…

[Verse 2]
    Am                G       C
So darlin' won't you tell me now?
    Am                       G       C
If that tree falls would it make a sound?
             Am                     G       C
‘Cause it's leaves are dry ‘n it's growin' old…
        Am           G        C
And it soon will lie on the ground

[Chorus]
         G           Am
Well I looked at it good
      G       C
And there I stood
          G        
Ready to fall… fall… fall…

F      Am   G     
Here I st-a-and, 
F      Am  G

Here I sta-a-and 
  (like a tree in Tennessee)
F      Am  G     Am
Here I a-a-am 
   (like a tree)

         F            Am
Like a tree in Tennessee
