   C 

I often sit alone up in a tree

 C                                   

waving to the ones that wave at me

|  D  |  G5/D  |

   C E 

I think well just how stupid can they be

|  Dm  |  Ddim/G#  |

 G7 G C 

waving to a man up in a tree

 C 

what they don't know is I am counting them

   C 

I even count the ladies and the men

|  D  |  G5/D  |

   C E 

I put the numbers in my little book

|  Dm  |  Ddim/G#  |

     G7 G C   

and only me can ever have a look

 F Em 

all I ask is a piece of mind

         G7 C 

which I lost somewhere down amongst the mess

 D                     

all I want is for people to be kind

          Dm G 

and walk slower to be counted when they pass

|  C  |  D  |  G5/D  |

 C E 

I think well just how stupid can they be

|  Dm  |  Ddim/G#  |

 G7 G C 

waving to a man up in a tree

 C  

I know that I will have to stop my fun

 C 

when I meet a girl who I can not count on

|  D  |  G5/D  |

 C E 

maybe marry her and happy we would be

|  Dm  |  Ddim/G#  |

     G7 G C 

not counting but just sitting up a tree

   C E 

I put the numbers in my little book

|  Dm  |  Ddim/G#  |

     G7 G C 

and only me can ever have a look

   C E 

I think well just how stupid can they be

|  Dm  |  Ddim/G#  |

 G7 G C 

waving to a man up in a tree 

|  C  |  D  |  G5/D  |
