Fig Tree Tab

by Brett Dennen


Brett fingerpicks the song when he plays it, for the most part you should fingerpick the
two notes of a chord then play the rest of the chord together, but this doesn't go for
whole song so mess around with it until you find a way that sounds good to you. These 
should be about right, not sure if they're 100% accurate but they're pretty close.
is a great song, so have fun with it!

intro:      
     

                        
Oh baby won't you come with me
                         
I'll tell you where I'm going
                          
Over the meadow, down by the stream
                          
Under the shade of a fig tree

               
So won't you come along
               
Won't you come along
               
Well, come with me
             
Underneath the shade
            
The shade of a fig tree

  
And it won't take long
  
It won't take long
                   
'Till you'll be beside me
                    
   Shake it mama, shake
                    
  Shake me up in my tree
                        
Well, shake me up in my tree

                                
Oh the sunlight streaks across the meadow
                             
Comes speaking through the canopy
                               
The shadow suggests the shape of my interests
             
Under your fig leaf

               
So won't you come along
               
Won't you come along
               
Well, come with me
             
Underneath the shade
            
The shade of a fig tree

  
And it won't take long
  
It won't take long
                   
'Till you'll be beside me
                    
   Shake it mama, shake
                    
  Shake me up in my tree
                   
  Shake me up in my tree

        
Mmm
Alright


               
So won't you come along
               
Won't you come along
               
Well, come with me
             
Underneath the shade
            
The shade of a fig tree


   
And it won't take long
  
It won't take long
                    
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
                   
   Shake it mama, shake
                    
   Shake me up in my tree
                      
Yes, shake me up in my tree


                     
Uprooting's heavy on the tree
                          
And nature has been good to thee
                                                  
You've been sittin' pretty with your prudence and your paw swingin'
                       
I've been barking up the wrong tree


               
So won't you come along
               
Won't you come along
               
Well, come with me
             
Underneath the shade
            
The shade of a fig tree

              
And it won't, and it won't
   
And it won't take long
                       
'Till you'll be beside me, baby
                   
   Shake it mama, shake
                    
   Shake me up in my tree
                      
Oh,  shake me up in my tree
                    
   Shake me up in my tree
