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
What kind of currency grows in these new deserts, these brand new flood
D
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?
