Rush - The Trees: chords

Chorus:
         D              F#m              C#m               A
There is unrest in the forest; there is trouble with the trees
         E                G       A       Bm
For the Maples want more sunlight and the Oaks ignore their pleas

      A               Bm                 G     D                 A
The trouble with the Maples and they're quite convinced they're right
A                              Bm               G     D        A
They say the Oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light.
A                              Bm               G        D           A
But the Oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made
          F#                             G               A
And they wonder why the Maples can't be happy in their shade

Chorus:
There is trouble in the forest, and the creatures all have fled
as the Maples scream Oppression and the Oaks just shake their heads

So the Maples formed a union and demanded equal rights
The Oaks are just too greedy, we will make them give us light
Now there's no more Oak oppression, for they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw
