G C Dear old tree in my front yard G D thank you for your shade G C your leaves are speckled with streaming rays of sun G D and I love the rustling noise they make C The swing on your branch G is my favorite spot C And I'm sorry for the steps we nailed G D into your bark Chorus: G C I'll love you forever G Cm yes, I'll love you still C Em I'll love you more than any man D C G Oh, I promise that I will. Dear old chickens that wander through my yard Thank you for the eggs that you've laid Oh, their blue/green shells are speckled with dirt And I love the rustling sound they make While chasing you is something I admit I've done a lot I would never steam or fry you or put you in a pot Chorus Dear old house that I grew up in I miss you when I'm gone The dog hair on my sofa And the light through my window at dawn While I know at times it seems like I am far away I'll be home on thanksgiving and on Christmas day Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsC Cm D Em G |
