The Bonsai Tree Lyrics

# Enjoy playing this on guitar, but I think the original song
# is on a ukulele. If you want to try it on the uke, here's
# how to do the chord shapes I think R. Hunter plays on it:
#
#
# A|--0-----4-----4-----2-----2-----2--|
# E|--0-----4-----2-----4-----2-----0--|
# C|--4-----4-----2-----4-----2-----4--|
# G|--6-----6-----2-----4-----2-----6--|
You told me the rain would be coming
Down, so I stayed inside with my bottle
I heard what you said, I always hear
I just don't learn so good, I know I should listen more
Carefully, more carefully
You said our love was like a bonsai tree
And of course, you were right
Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy
To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
Oh how the light reflected off you when you came to me
Ya floated like Mary into my darkened room
We were there once things were fine, I was yours, you were mine
We had it all, it was ours, oh my god, below the stars
And then you told me our love is like a bonsai tree
And I knew you were right
Oh, that's why, darling, it's a tragedy
To find me drawing bonsai trees tonight
# Another verse progression, ending with an A.
