Capo 4th fret, Fingerpicked

There’s sap in the trees if you tap ‘em
There’s blood on the seas if you map ‘em
Christian, if you see your poppa
Tell him I love him
He taught me to love in the wild and
Fight in the gym
He taught me the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won’t get hurt if you just
Keep your hands up
And stand tall
Like sycamores
Sycamore got to grow down to grow up
Young roots hold the soil like baby’s first cup
And when they bend you in two
And say too green for the fire
When all you want to do is be a part of the fire
All you want to do is be the fire part of fire
Like sycamores

There’s sap in the trees if you tap ‘em
There’s blood on the seas if you map ‘em
Christian when I see your poppa
I’ll tell him you love him
And remember to love in the wild and
Fight in the gym
Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won’t get hurt if you just
Keep your hands up
And stand tall
Like sycamores

The whole song is this chord progression:
[D7sus-D7]
Too many birds in one tree[D7sus-D7]
Too many birds in one tree[D7sus-D7]
The sky is full of black and scr[D7sus-D7]eaming leaves
The sky is full of black and screaming[D7sus-D7]

And one more bird, then one more [D7sus-D7]bird
And one last bird, and another[D7sus-D7]
One last blackbird, without a [D7sus-D7]place to land
One last blackbird without a [D7sus-D7]place to be
Turns around, in hopes to [D7sus-D7]find
The place it last knew rest[D7sus-D7]

Oh blackbird, black rain b[D7sus-D7]urn
This is not where you last knew [D7sus-D7]rest
You fly all night, to sleep on [D7sus-D7]stone
That heartless rest that in the morn will be [D7sus-D7]gone
You fly all night to sleep on stone
To return to the [D7sus-D7]tree with
Too many birds, too many birds, too many birds[D7sus-D7]

[D7sus-D7]
If, if you, if you c[D7sus-D7]ould
If you could only[D7sus-D7]
If you could only stop[D7sus-D7]
If you could only stop your[D7sus-D7]
If you could only stop your heart[D7sus-D7]
If you could only stop your heartbeat[D7sus-D7]
If you could only stop your heartbeat fo[D7sus-D7]r
If you could only stop your heartbeat for [D7sus-D7]one heart
If you could only stop your heartbeat for one[D7sus-D7] heartbeat

End on G.[D7sus-D7]
