INTRO

[Gm7] [Am7] [Am] [Fm] [Bbmaj7] [G/A] [A7] [D6] [E7]

[A] [Adim] [D/E] (x2)

VERSE 1

There is [A] something [Adim] in our [E] language that they [A] need [G6]
Like a [Am] good com [C7] panion [Em] follo [A7] wing a [D6] lead
So I [Gm7] wait on tables, sometimes hold the [Am] door
[D7] Lost for [Bbmaj7] words in [G] language [A7] school and [D6] poor ( [E7] I remember)

CHORUS

[A] Here come the [Em] rattling trees
[Fmaj7] Don’t mention my [Em] name, don’t mention my [F/G] name
[A] Here come the [Em] rattling trees
[Fmaj7] Don’t mention my [Em] name, don’t mention my [F/G] name
[A] Here come the [Em] rattling trees
[Fmaj7] Don’t mention my [Em] name, don’t mention my [F/G] name

[Ab] [Abm6] [Ebmaj7] [Eb] [Abmaj7] [Ab7]

[A] [Adim] [D/E] (x2)

VERSE 2

A [A] cold No [Adim] vember [E] day, a frozen [A] track [G6]
The [Am] walking [C7] done, the [Em] four are [A7] heading [D6] back
And the [Gm7] bedroom was an icebox once a [Am] gain
The [D7] branches [Bbmaj7] on the [G] beech would [A7] call my [D6] name ( [E7] I remember)

CHORUS/FADE

[A] Here come the [Em] rattling trees
[Fmaj7] Don’t mention my [Em] name, don’t mention my [F/G] name
