The Trees Harmonica Tab

Lyrics: Neil Peart
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
This song was written in key of D
I tabbed it in C to avoid overblows
Still very hard

verse 1:
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 4
There is unrest in the forest.
4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
There is trouble with the trees.
5 -5 6 6 6 -3″ -3 -3
For the Maples want more sunlight
4 4 -3 -3 -3″ -4 -3
and the Oaks ignore their pleas.

verse 2:
-7 -10 -10 -10 -10 10′ 10′
The trouble with the Maples
9 9 9 9 -9 9 -9 8
(and they’re quite convinced they’re right):
9 9 -9 -10 -10 -10 -10 10′-9
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
10′ 10′ 10 10 10’10 10’10 10′
and they grab up all the light.
-10 9 -10 9 -9 9 9 -9
But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
9 -9 9 9 9 -9 8
if they like the way they’re made.
8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9
And they wonder why the Maples
-9 -9 9 9 9 -10 9 -10 9
can’t be happy in their shade.

verse 3:
-8 8 -9 -9 -9 8 8 7
There is trouble in the forest
7 8 8 -9 8 7 7
and the creatures all have fled,
8 -9 9 9 -9 8 -8 10 9
as the Maples sream “Oppression!”
8 7 -7 -6 -7 -7 8 -7
and the Oaks just shake their heads.

verse 4:
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 10′ 10′ 10′
(So the) Maples formed a union,
9 9 9 9 -9 -9 8
and demanded equal rights.
-9 -10 -10 -10 -10 10′ -9
“The Oaks are just too greedy,
10′ 10′ 10 10 10’10 10’10 10′
We will make them give us light.”
9 -9 9 9 9 9 -9 8
Now, there’s no more Oak oppression,
8 8 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9
For they passed a noble law…
-10 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9
So the trees are all kept equal
-9 9 9 9 -10 -10
by hatchet, axe, and saw.
