If a Tree Falls
From the album Big Circumstance

[Intro]

G Em D x2

[Verse 1]
G         Em                D
Rainforest, mist and mystery, teeming green
        G                  Em
Green brain facing lobotomy, climate control centre for the world
D
Ancient cord of coexistence hacked by parasitic greedhead scam
G                Em                      D
From Sarawak to Amazonas, Costa Rica to mangy BC hills, cortege rhythm of falling timber
G                                               Em                              D
What kind of currency grows in these new deserts, these brand new flood plains?

[Chorus]
      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
G                  Em              D
          Anybody hear the forest fall?

[Verse 2]
G              Em               D
Cut and move on, cut and move on, take out trees
                                          G
Take out wildlife at a rate of a species every single day
Em                                                             D
Take out people who've lived like this for a hundred thousand years
D
And inject a billion burgers worth of beef
G           Em                   D
Grain eaters, methane dispensers
G                 Em                            D
Through thinning ozone, waves fall on wrinkled earth
                                    G
Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars
                   Em                        D
Speak of a drowning, but this, this is something other
D
Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world
G                           Em                D
Where wild things have to go to disappear forever

[Chorus]
      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
G                  Em              D
          Anybody hear the forest fall?
      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
G                  Em              D
          Anybody hear the forest fall?

[Outro]

G Em D

      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest

G Em D

      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest

G Em D

      G                 Em                  D
If a tree falls in the forest

G Em D (Fade out)
