EmYou men don’t look that er very smart to me

BmSo I presume you’ve never ever seen a dancing tree?

BmNow they’re all gathered round the tree down by the pool

 But he jEmust takes out his silver flute and begins to play

BmSure enough that tall tree starts to sway

(instrumental break)

BmGodas turns away and says ‘I’ve done the best I could.’

BmBut the bandits they come forward they’re looking for his blood

EmYou can imagine their extreme surprise

 When Godas vaniBmshes before their very eyes

BmIf you’re ever wandering out in the desert all alone

BmCome across seven figures made out of stone

EmWant you to listen very closely to the wind

BmCould be you’ll hear our old friend sing
