Version 1 Version 2

            Capo 5
Standard
"Old Pine"

[Verse 1]
C
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, 
                       Am
I've come to know that memories
         G
Were the best things you ever had
C
The summer shone beat down on bony backs
                           Am
So far from home where the ocean stood 
        G                C       Am  G
Down dust and pine cone tracks
C
We slept like dogs down by the fire side
                      Am
Awoke to the fog all around us 
      G                 C  Am  G
The boom of summer time

[Chorus]
C
We stood
               Em
Steady as the stars in the woods
          C
So happy-hearted
                                    Em
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
        Am              G
As the old pine fell we sang
                           C  Am  G
Just to bless the morning.

[Verse 2]
C
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, 
                       Am
I've come to know the friends around you
    G
Are all you'll always have
C
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone 
                      Am                   G
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
                  C          Am   G
With weightless souls now.

[Chorus]
C
We stood
               Em
Steady as the stars in the woods
           C
So happy-hearted
                               Em
And the warmth rang true inside these bones [x2]
        Am               G
As the old pine fell we sang
                           C  Am  G
Just to bless the morning.

[Instrumental]
C Am G

[Outro]
C
We grow, grow, steady as the morning
               Am    G
We grow, grow, older still
C
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
                Am   G
We grow, grow, older still
C
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
                Am    G
We grow, grow, older still
C
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
                Am   G
We grow, grow, older still

C  Am  G x4
C
