Dm

If you'll gather 'round people

Gm

I'll sing you a song

A7

about brave Tortuguita

Dm

in the Weelaunee dawn

Dm

as they laid there dreamin'

Gm

'bout freedom and peace

A7

through the pines there came creepin'

Dm

the Georgia Police

[Chorus]

Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Gm

for every tree that's felled

C C7 F

there's a cop that's goin' to hell

Bb G7

for every martyr slain

A7

so grows the flame

[Verse 2]

Dm

"The forest is freedom"

Gm

Tortuguita would say

A7

With a heart full of fire

Dm

& a face full of play

Dm

The songbirds all scattered

Gm

'fore the rifles & boots

A7

Tortuguita sat firmly 'mong

Dm

The leaves & the roots

[Chorus]

for every tree that's felled

there's a cop that's goin' to hell

so grows the flame

[Verse 3]

Dm

Well, just a year older than

Gm

Thirteen & Twelve

A7

Caring more for the people

Dm

Than they did for themself

Dm

As the rifles were lowered

Gm

They raised up their hands

A7

A young life is the price

Dm

A police state demands

[Chorus]

for every tree that's felled

C C7 F

there's a cop that's goin' to hell

Bb G7

for every martyr slain

A7

so grows the flame

[Verse 4]

Dm

Way out in Atlanta

Gm

The candles are lit

A7

However many shots fired

Dm

Fifty-seven shots hit

Dm

To build a cop city

Gm

how low will they go?

A7

Thanks to brave Tortuguita

Dm

Now the whole damn world knows

[Chorus]

for every tree that's felled

C C7 F

there's a cop that's goin' to hell

Bb G7

for every martyr slain

A7

so grows the flame

[Verse 5]

Dm

I'll ask you this, people,

Gm

While I still have your ear

A7

Why give weapons of war

Dm

To those so full of fear?

Dm

To those itchy of finger

Gm

& empty of spine?

A7

Where do we put our foot down?

Dm

Where do we draw the line?

[Chorus]

Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 Gm

for every tree that's felled

C C7 F

there's a cop that's goin' to hell

Bb G7

for every martyr slain

Dm

so grows the flame
