[Verse 1]
Amaj7 F# B9 E7
Sittin' in the shade of a tree that was meant for me a little tired from sun and
C#m7 D C#m7 F#7
Sittin' there to feel the breeze and the mem - o - ries I let my thoughts go run-nin'
Bm E A Bm C#m D E D# D
No major discov’ries I just let my - self ri_ - _de Why was I
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
so at ease? I can't decide…
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 F# B9 E7
Sittin' 'neath the tree idly That was so shady I let myself envision
C#m7 D C#m7 F#7
Thinkin' of the dreams and the scenes I could see for me And what was my decision?
Bm E A Bm C#m D E D# D
I knew that the sun was out But how long would it shi__ne? Soon closing
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
in, no doubt But I had time…
[Chorus]
Bm E C#m F#m Bm E A Amaj7
And I'm drif - tin' No, no direction Chasin' thought after thought__
Bm E C#m F#7 Bm E A Amaj7
Drif - tin' Into re - flection And I don't want it to stop
Bm E C#m F#m Bm E A Amaj7
Rol - ling Roll with the punches Trying to get with the scheme
(Rollin’ as best as I can)
Bm E C#m F#7 Bm E A Amaj7
Rol - lin Roll with the hunches And somewhere there is a theme…
(‘Cause somewhere there is a plain…)
[Solo]
Amaj7 Bm

[Verse 3]
Amaj7 F# B9 E7
Pickin' up the things I mislaid While in the shade My little visit o-ver
C#m7 D C#m7 F#7
I step back in - to the sun my dream - in' done My feet dug in the clo-ver
Bm E A Bm C#m D E D# D
As I ran down the hill I try to catch my mind___ But I was
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
stand - in' still 'Cause it was flyin'…
[Chorus]
Bm E C#m F#m Bm E A Amaj7
And I'm drif - tin' No, no direction Chasin' thought after thought__
Bm E C#m F#7 Bm E A Amaj7
Drif - tin' Into re - flection And I don't want it to stop
Bm E C#m F#m Bm E A A7+
Rol - ling Roll with the punches Trying to get with the scheme
(Rollin’ as best as I can)
Bm E C#m F#7 Bm E A Amaj7
Rol - lin Roll with the hunches And somewhere there is a theme…
(‘Cause somewhere there is a plain…)
