These Pines Tab

a pretty torch & twang type song. sounds like she was influenced
a bit by patsy cline & maybe dolly parton...
sounds good finger-picked, or strummed, or a little of both...
as usual, corrections, suggestions, job offers are welcome.

THESE PINES

          Kasey Chambers

                                    
These pines are not the ones that I'm used to
                               
They won't carry me home when I cry
                      
Am I too far gone to recover
                   
Or can I return if I try
                           
Should I trade my soul for another
                          
Learn not to complain anymore
                                  
Should I stay and pretend that I'm happy
                     
Like so many times before

           
Yeah these pines
        
Are not mine
            
They don't smell so sweet
         
Like the ones in my mind
    
And I search the needles
       
'Til I run out of time
                            
But I don't see you in these pines

                      

                         
Do I stumble or falter my words
                                  
When I'm saying everything is all right
                           
I'm not one to release my depression
                                  
But these trees bring it out every night
                                      
Well I don't talk 'cause I'm trying to listen
                                       
To the wind take me home through these leaves
                              
But it's quiet and I don't hear nothing
                                           
'Cause the wind doesn't blow through these trees

           
Yeah these pines
        
Are not mine
           
They don't smell so sweet
         
Like the ones in my mind
    
And I search the needles
       
'Til I run out of time
                            
But I don't see you in these pines
                            
No I don't see you in these pines
