[Eb]branches in the [Gm]wind, still [Ab]standing here to[Eb]gether
[Ab]one more storm to [Eb]weather, we'll get [F]through it [Bb]yet
[Eb]so we're gathered [Gm7]here, holding [Ab]on to each [Eb]other
to [Ab]let go of an[Eb]other one we [Bb]won't [Ab] for[Eb]get
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
now as we [Cm]say good[Bb]bye to [Ab]one of our [Eb]own
[Ab] we may be [Eb]lonely, but we're [F7]not a[Bb]lone
though the [Cm]leaves will [Bb]fall and the [Ab]tears will [Eb]flow
[F7]may it always [Bb]comfort us to [Cm]know [Bb]
the [F]family tree will [Bb]always [Eb]grow

[Eb]father down to [Gm]son, [Ab]mother to [Eb]daughter
[Ab] thicker than [Eb]water, we are [F]made of [Bb]this
[Eb]from the earth we [Gm7]rise, [Ab]to the earth re[Eb]turning
we'll [Ab]keep a candle [Eb]burning for the [Bb]ones [Ab] we'll [Eb]miss
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 2}
and when we [Cm]say good[Bb]bye to [Ab]one of our [Eb]own
[Ab] we may be [Eb]lonely, but we're [F7]not a[Bb]lone
though the [Cm]leaves will [Bb]fall and the [Ab]tears will [Eb]flow
[F7]may it always [Bb]comfort us to [Cm]know [Bb]
the [F]family tree will [Bb]always [Eb]grow
it's [F7]stronger than the [Bb]wind can [Cm]blow [Cm/Bb]
the [F]family tree will [Bb]always [Eb]grow
