Ben Sollee – Prettiest Tree On The Mountain chords

You can pretty much figure out the finger picking for yourself, I personally
 like plucking the strings at "But neither you nor I'd been" and single
downstrokes at "sure ain't gonna hold you down." Also, I think in some
versions he holds the F at "Hills of Kentucky" for an extra measure. Enjoy!


       C                FWell a robin flew by my window
           C               GI thought it just might be you
              CJudging from the colour of its breast
        FAnd the sound of its song
     C	       G         C     But I'm just thinking of you

Cos you're in sunny California
The fertile land John Steinbeck wrote,
But when I came not a single fertile patch
Could be spared for you and me

            F	     G	     CYou see I wanted to love you baby
C                                  GBut neither you nor I'd been loved before
                    C                        F			I thought I could change the world if I just held you high enough
             C           G              CThe truth is I couldn't hold you up at all


           Am     G  FI couldn't hold you up
            Am   G  CI couldn't hold you up
        G                       CAnd I sure ain't gonna hold you down

*Solo*

	CWell I'm leaving
 		FWalking back home
	 C                GI don't care if it takes years or more
         C                 FBut as I walk through the hills of Kentucky
       C                  GThe leaves begin to turn red

        Am   G  FAnd I think of you
         Am   G  CYes, I think of you
      G                    C	The prettiest tree on the mountain.
