[Verse]
Bm E
When the storm had passed
B5 B D* A* Bm
Fallen branches lay around the yard
Bm E
And we went to see
B D* A* G
When we found what had happened to the cherry tree
F#m B
It hit us pretty hard
B
B E
Half the tree was gone
B D B
Down the trunk there ran a ragged gash
E
Torn by bitter winds
B5 D G
And below, the largest and the fairest limb
F#m7 B5
Lay broken on the grass
B
[Chourus]
G D
And it seemed to be the cruelest blow
A Bm
That any storm could bring
G D
And someone said, "That poor old tree
C#m F#
Won't see another spring"
Bm E
But the tree still stands, the tree still grows
B5 Bm* E* A*
And you know the roots run deep
D Bm
The tree still blooms when the gentle rains
E* A* Bm
Wake it out of its barren sleep
G E E
And the branches reach to hold the sun
F#m B
And the cherries still are sweet
B E B D Bm A Bm D* A* B
[Verse]
B E
Even now it hurts
B D B
That old tree won’t be the same again
E
And we miss the perch
B5 D* A* G
Where we used to climb to watch the distant hills
F#m7 B
Appearing after rain
B
[Chourus]
G D
And we remember happiness
A B
And yearn for what is lost
G D
And we think about the new green buds
Em* C#m* F#7
That follow on the frost
Bm E
Cause the tree still stands, the tree still grows
B E* A*
And you know the roots run deep
D* A* B
The tree still blooms when the gentle rains
E* A* Bm
Wake it out of its barren sleep
G A* E* E
And the branches reach to hold the sun
F#m B
And the cherries still are sweet

[Verse]
Bm E
We will not forget
B Bm D* A* Bm
It's no shame to weep for what is gone
Bm E
But the spring has come
B D* A* G
What survives through hardship is as beautiful
F#m B* Bm
As what was whole and strong
Bm
[Chourus]
G D
You can tell where the big branch used to be
A Bm* B*
From the way the others grow
G D
The scars are long and jagged
C#m F#
And they're always going to show
Bm E
But the tree still stands, the tree still grows
C#m E
And you know the roots run deep
D Bm
The tree still blooms when the gentle rains
A Bm
Wake it out of its barren sleep
G E C#m
And the branches reach to hold the sun
F#m B
And the cherries still are sweet
