Tree In The Meadow

Words & Music by Billy Reid
Recorded by Margaret Whiting, 1948 (#1


E7/6   Bm7-5  A  E7/6  E7  A9    A     A7
There's  a   tree in  the mea - dow

        Dalt  Bm7-5   Cdim A
With a stream drift - ing by,

     Dalt     Fdim(III) D     A Fdim F#m
And carved up -  on    that tree  I  see

Bm7-5  A  F#m  D9 E7  A
 "I  love you till I die."


E7/6   Bm7-5  A   E7/6 E7   A9    A     A7
 I     will  al - ways re - mem - ber

    Dalt Bm7-5  Cdim A
The love   in   your eye

   Dalt     Fdim(III) D    A  Fdim F#m
The day you    carved up - on that tree

Bm7-5  A  F#m  D9 E7  A    B7
"I   love you till I die."


Bridge:

B7   E     C#m7      A        B7
But further on down lovers' lane,

  E           C#m7    A   B7
A sil - hou - ette I see;

   E          C#m7         A         B7
I know you're kiss - ing some - one else --

   D       Edim     E7
I wish that it were me.



E7/6 Bm7-5  A  E7/6  E7  A9    A     A7
 By   that tree in  the mea - dow,

     Dalt  Bm7-5  Cdim  A
My thoughts al -  ways lie,

       Dalt    Fdim(III) D     A    Fdim F#m
And where'er you go,    you'll al - ways know

Bm7-5  A  F#m  D9  E7  A
I    love you till I  die.
