1. I’ve been entangled in your soul
A
From the moment that we met
D
I can’t... breathe to forgive
A
I’m suffocated by “Forget”
D
As I’m lost within the woods
A
Praying for release
D A D
I hear in my ear: Trees
D A D A
Ch1: Trees, please, breathe for me
2. I am frustrated and confused
You say that you’re in love with me
I can’t... breathe to forgive
I’m suffocated by “Believe”
As I’m standing by this Earth
Deep roots beneath my feet
I feel my naked heels on trees
D A D A
Ch2: Trees, please, breathe for me
D A G A
Trees, please, breathe for me, set me free
G A
Release me, sweet Relief
Dma7 A2
La da da da da, la da da da dum

La la la la la, la da da da dum
Brdg:
G D
Time has come to leave the woods
A D
Brown bark, Leaves of Green
G D
Have gently pulled our roots apart
G Gm6 D
So our integrity... Remains
D A
Trees, breathe for me, come on,
D A
Trees, breathe for me, oh oh oh
D A D A
Ch3: Trees, please, breathe for me
D A G D
Trees, please, breathe for me, set me free
G D
Breathe for me, sweet release

On guitar, you can play the chords below or do a blues rhythm progression. -- Cern
Capo I
“It’s really no big deal, I’m just an everyday Goddess”
Em
She's a mother off to work. She's driving in her car.
D Em
She's a Goddess in the Elevator, rising like a star.
Em D Em
They say she's working like a man, but they don't understand.
D Em
She is dancing with Goddess in her heart.
She's that woman on the phone. She's smoothing out a deal.
And though her back is aching, she's a Goddess in high heels.
She works from 6 AM to 3, and it may be hard to see,
But the beauty of the Goddess runs deep.
Ch:
Em
It's really no big deal I'm just an Everyday Goddess,
D
Em
Doing all my Goddess duties trying to find a way.
Em
I am the Maiden, and the Mother, and the Crone,
D Em
But it's really no big deal. It's just another day.
She's a Goddess in a skirt. Long, lean, legs.
She can drop you to your knees and make you beg.
We are obsessed with her body, but we don't see
That the beauty of the Goddess lies beneath.
She's a Goddess on the job, a Goddess in your bed,
A Goddess for the children, and she keeps her family fed.
You must never treat her mean, always elevate your Queen.
She's the Everyday Goddess of your World. (Ch)
Em
It’s really no big deal. It’s really no big deal. (Ch)
Em
It’s just another day
Em D Em(7)
It’s really no big deal…. It’s just another day
By Celia Farran
Tune down ½ step and play in D. Sounds in C# on the CD.
D G
I had green grass. I had bare feet.
D
To this day, I’ll tell you true
A (su4) A
It was the my purest love affair
D G
But I craved lights, and city streets
D
And I knew I couldn’t quit
A (su4) A
Until I found myself right there
D
Ch: And now I don’t know what I’m doing here
D7
This... city must run by fear
G
But life back in the country
A D/A A A7
Sure would bore me to no end

Teach me how to get it back
D7
I learned a lot but still I lack

G A (D)
Deedle duka dika duka deedle doe (2x)
2. I had trees. I had the sky.
And they loved me to the core but I simply didn’t care
I wanted speed. Live in high rises
Knew I couldn’t quit until I found myself right there (Ch)
D
Yah dah dee dah dum dah
G
Yah dah dee dah dum dah
Em
Yah dah dee dah dum dah
G A A D
Yah dah dah dah dee (2x) ... dee dih doe.
3. Now I’m back. Yes I’ve returned.
And I will not turn around ‘cause all my bridges have been burned.
But that’s all right. I’ll be OK.
Just don’t look me in the eye yet ‘cause I’ve been taught to look away
D
Ch2: I’m gonna take some time off, that’s the deal
D7
I’m gonna slow it down so that my soul can heal
G
‘Cause life back in that city
A D/A A A7
sure would tear me up again
D
Teach me how to get it back
D7
I learned a lot but still I lack the
G
Earth Girl in my middle

Capo iii play in A, sounds in C
A /G Bm7 E A /G Bm7 E
Intro: Aaahhh Ahhhhh; Aaahhh Ahhhhh
A E D
1. I sitting lonely in the Central Park Zoo
D E7 A (su4)
There’s nothing I can do to change my tone.
A E D
I’m watching couples as they play in the park
D E7 A
They stay ‘til it gets dark then go home
D A
I am watching them but they don’t notice me
D A/C# Bm E
‘til they want me to take their picture with the Lion
D A
And when they get their film back, they’ll be surprised to see
D A/C# Bm E
Just a close up of the Lonely Lion... cryin’
A E D
There’s only one lonely lion, he lives in a cage
D E A
He leads a very lonely lion’s life
A E D
Cuz there’s another lonely lion living in her lonely cage
D E7 A
In a different lonely town and she’s his wife
Aaahhh Ahhhhh; Aaahhh Ahhhhh
2. I sit and stay awhile but I can’t smile
As long as he is pacing out his rage
I am watching him. He is watching me
He seems to think that I don’t have a cage
Well he wishes that he had my life. He doesn’t see.
The prison of my heart has got me dying
It’s no matter how the walls are made
I can’t breathe, I will pace until I’m free I won’t stop trying
A E D
3. I’m only one lonely lion. I live in a cage
D E7 A (su4)
I lead a very lonely lion’s life.
A E D
’Cause there’s another lonely lion living in his lonely cage
D E7 A
If we chance to meet again I’d be his wife.
D A
We still remember the time when we used to run free
D A/C# Bm E
Before we were taken from each other
D A
And if we make it back, oh, how happy we would be
D A/C# Bm E Bm E
We would run and jump and play and we would tumble down
A /G Bm E A /G Bm E
Tumble down, oh, tumble down
A /G A /G
I’m only one lonely lioness.
A /G A /G (repeat and fade)
One lonely lioness.
