Intro 
 
Gm Dm Bb7 Eb6 D7 D 
 
Verse 1:
Gm                Dm 
Every plant given life by his hands 
Bb7                         Eb6 
Every stone placed to build pathways in the sand 
            Eb6                 D7 
There was a magical feeling surrounding that land 
Eb6                  D7              D 
A mystical feeling surrounding that land 
 
        Gm                            Dm 
And I'd curl up on my mother with the fire ablaze 
   Bb7         Eb6 
My memories of then are a haze 
          Eb6                    D7 
But I can still smell the fynbos after a night's rain 
        Eb6                        D7                  D 
And the fairies and the magic that blossomed from our brains 
 
Post-Chorus              Gm                    Dm 
And there's a child in the treetops, is she still me? 
   Bb7 
My heart opens as the swing drops 
        Eb6 
I've got bruises on my knees 
          Eb6 
And I look up into the ether 
    D7 
The sunset and the breeze 
            Eb6 
Nothing has made me quite as happy 
      D7       D              Gm 
As my home, my home among the trees 
 
        Gm                            Dm 
And I'd curl up on my mother with the fire ablaze 
   Bb7              Eb6 
My memories of then are a haze 
          Eb6                    D7 
But I can still smell the fynbos after a night's rain 
        Eb6                        D7                  D 
And the fairies and the magic that blossomed from our brains 
 
 
Post-Chorus              Gm                    Dm 
And there's a child in the treetops, is she still me? 
   Bb7 
My heart opens as the swing drops 
         Eb6 
I've got bruises on my knees 
          Eb6 
And I look up into the ether 
    D7 
The sunset and the breeze 
            Eb6 
Nothing has made me quite as happy 
      D7       D              Gm 
As my home, my home among the trees
