Capo: 4
Intro:
VERSE 1:
Way up in the mountains on the high timberline
there s a twisted old tree called the bristle cone pine
the wind there it s bitter and cut s like a knife
And keeps that tree holdin on for dear life
VERSE 2:
Hold on it does stand in it s ground
Standing as empires rise and fall down
When Jesus was gathering lambs to his fold
The tree was already a thousand years old
CHORUS 1:
Now the way I have lived there aint no way to tell
when I die if I m goin to heaven or hell
so when I m laid to rest it ll suite me just fine
to sleep at the feet of the Bristlecone Pine
VERSE 3:
And as I would slowly return to this earth
What little this body of mine might be worth
It d soon start to nourish the roots of that tree
And it would par - take of the essence of me
VERSE 4:
And who knows but that as the century s turn
A small spark in me might continue to burn
As long as the sun does continue to shine
Down on the limbs of the Bristlecone Pine
CHORUS 2:
By the way I have lived there aint no way to tell
When I die if I m goin to heaven or hell
But I d just soon serve out eternity s time
Asleep at the feet of the Bristlecone Pine
REPEAT CHORUS 2
