             FAMILY TREE
           MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY


INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
        C
Gonna buy some wood every size and length
        G         C
Gonna build it good using all my strength
                     F
Gonna clear the land where the house will be
          C  G        C
And start another branch of the family tree

N.C.      C
Gonna chalk a line and lay a walnut floor
          G           C
Build the walls of pine and hang a cherry door
                  F
I`ll cut the beams above from mahogany
         C  G         C
And I`ll get the love from the family tree


CHORUS:
       Am          C
I`ve wandered far and I`ve walked alone
         Am F        G
Till the morning star finally led me home
         C            F
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
        C  G        C
Living in the shade of the family tree


VERSE:
         C
Gonna fill this place like my daddy did
         G          C
With a friendly face and a bunch of kids
                   F
Even though he`s gone he`s a part of me
      C G       C A
As I carry on this family tree


VERSE:
N.C.        D
Girl, the wind may blow and the clouds may come
         A           D
Bringing ice and snow, blocking out the sun
                     G
The earth may quake and the ground may freeze
         D  A       D
They will never shake this family tree


CHORUS:
       Bm          D
I`ve wandered far and I`ve walked alone
         Bm G        A
Till the morning star finally led me home
         D            G
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
        D  A        D
Living in the shade of the family tree

 D                  G
Mama look at him, don`t he look like me
         D  A        D  D  A  D
He`s the latest limb on the family tree

         D            G
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
        D  A        D  D  A   D
Living in the shade of the family tree


OUTRO:
         D            G
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
        D  A        D
Living in the shade of the family tree
