E9sus4 Bm7add4 D/G Bm7add4 D/G D/F#
[Verse 1]
Esus4 G Gsus4 G
I'm home again in my old narrow bed
Esus4 G
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
F#m7b5 Bm7 CM9
The low beam room with the window looking out
G CM7
On the soft summer garden
F#sus4 F# Bm7add4
Where the boys grew in the trees
[Verse 2]
Esus4 G
Here I grew guilty and no one was at fault
Esus4 G
Frightened by the power in every innocent thought
F#m7b5 Bm7 CM9
And the silent understanding passing down
G CM7
From daughter to daughter
F#sus4 F# D/G C#m7b5 Bm7
Let the boys grow in the trees
[Verse 3]
Esus4 G
Do you go to them or do you let them come to you?
Esus4 G
Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude?
F#m7b5 Bm7 CM9
Deny yourself and hope someone will see
G CM7
And live like a flower
F#sus4 F# Bm7
While the boys grow in the trees

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 4]
Esus4 G
Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire
Esus4 G
Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desires
F#m7b5 Bm7 CM9
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
G CM7
And watch by the window
F#sus4 F# Bm7
Where the boys grew in the trees
F#sus4 F# Bm7add4 D/G Bm7add4 D/G D6/F# E9sus4
The boys grew in the trees
