Tree (version Two)

[Instrumental] [Intro] [nylon-string acoustic guitar enters with syncopated bossa nova rhythm] [shaker and woodblock percussion enter] [A Section] [electric piano enters with lead melody] [double bass enters playing on beats 1 and 3] This tree all alone in the forest does it make a sound this tree all alone in the forest when it gets chopped down this tree all alone in the forest so tucked far away you can't find it to chop it down it still stands til this very day the apple doesn't fall far from the tree the love stays deep inside of me it won't ever be found it won't be cut down [B Section] [electric piano melody continues with jazz phrasing] [guitar and percussion maintain steady rhythm] the apple doesn't fall far from the tree the love stays deep inside of me it won't ever be found it won't be cut down a tree falling alone can never fall if no one is there to cut it down at all I will never fall the apple doesn't fall far from the tree lessons learned like the jerk of a knee I don't need an audience to feel love can stay inside and still be real and no one will ever chop down no one will ever chop down no one will ever chop down this tree this tree this tree this tree Words and Music by Maryam El Sherif 2026 Flying Eggs Music [Outro] [electric piano melody resolves to C major seventh chord] [instruments fade out]
