The first new tree is tall and good 
G             A    A*  
It gives hard dark brown burning wood 
D 
When winter comes it stands right outside 
G        A             A* 
With its blossom-laden arms spread wide 
D G A A

The second new tree gives out sweet sticky fruit 
G                   A   A* 
And it took a long time to take root 
D 
Sometimes we thought it had given up the spirit 
G                         A             A* 
But now it makes me happy when I'm just standing near it

The third new tree stands just west of the barn 
G 
His best branches grow thicker than my arm 
D 
I will water him every day 
G 
And I will chase all the termites away 
        D          G    D     G 
But the fourth new tree is my enemy 
          D          A     D 
Yeah, the fourth new tree shouldn't be here 
    D          G 
The fourth new tree 
           D                                  G 
Sets its tendrils through the water mains and tries to poison me 
D 
His leaves are thick 
A 
Always falling 
D 
and pure
