[Verso 1]
G G
Two trees in the forest, one was crooked, one was straight.
Em Em
Crimson bark and emerald needles, growing day by day.
C
And though they looked so different, they
C
enjoyed the rain the same,
G G
side by side.
[Verso 2]
G G
Chickadee had told them of a darkness on the land.
Em Em
Spinning blades that came to visit, carried by a man.
C C
And every other tree would see them cut down where they stand,
G G
by and by.
[Refrão]
Em C G
Oh, can't you see, a crooked tree won't fit into the mill
D
machine.
Em] C G
They're left to grow, wild and free. Oh, I'd rather be a
D* G
crooked tree.

G G
The perfect trees were driven down the mountain to the mill.
Em Em
They turned them into toothpicks and twenty dollar bills.
C C
It seem the more that people took, the more they needed still,
G G
in the end.
[Verso 4]

The crooked trees were left there, after all the

work was done.
Em Em
Now they go for weeks and never witness anyone.
C C
No one left to tell them, if they're growing right or wrong,
G G
but the whispering wind.
[Refrão]
Em C G
Oh, can't you see, a crooked tree won't fit into the mill
D
machine.
Em C G
They're left to grow, wild and free. Oh, I'd rather be a

crooked tree.

[Verso 5]
G G
People say I'm different, and my way of life seems strange.
Em
I took the road less travelled, twists and
Em
turns along the way.
C C
But like the crooked tree, I'm growing stronger day by day
G G
as the clouds roll by.
[Verso 6]
G G
A river never wonders, why it flows around the bend.
Em Em
A mountain doesn't questions, how it grows up from the land.
C C
So, who am I to wish I wasn't just the way I am,
G
who am I.
[Refrão]

Oh, can't you see, a crooked tree won't fit into the mill
D
machine.

They're left to grow, wild and free. Oh, I'd rather be a
D* Em
crooked tree.
