From: Jonathan D Simms 

Here is the entire thing:
The Trees by Rush


The beginning of the song is a beautiful classical intro which on the
studio
album is fingerpicked. I personally favor the live version. But here goes:

First I'd like to outline the basic chord forms used and then I will
write
out the specific picking pattern. an "X" indicates that the string is not
used

D     F#m   C#m   *A*    E     G     A
E|2   E|2   E|4   E|5   E|0   E|3   E|0
B|3   B|2   B|4   B|5   B|0   B|0   B|2
G|2   G|2   G|6   G|2   G|1   G|0   G|2
D|0   D|4   D|6   D|2   D|2   D|0   D|2
A|0   A|4   A|2   A|0   A|2   A|2   A|0
E|X   E|2   E|X   E|X   E|0   E|3   E|0

 Bm   A/Bm (a Bm chord with an A in the bass)
E|2   E|X
B|3   B|3
G|4   G|4
D|4   D|4
A|2   A|0
E|X   E|X


All of these chords are pretty straight-forward except for the *A* chord.
I don't know if that's it's real name but it's the trick to getting
"The Tree's" to sounding right. By just playing an A chord in first
position (2nd fret), the upper notes are too low. So you move them up an
octave. The notes are (from lowest fretted note):  E(5), A (1), E(13), A
(1).
So I guess this is officially a A13 (no 3) chord. Don't be so skeptical,
try it against the CD and you'll see what I mean (If not Hemispheres than
E.S.L.)

to fret the A13 (no third) chord i find it easiest to
 |  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |

E|-----=--1--=-----=-----=--4--=
B|-----=--1--=-----=-----=--4--=
G|-----=--1--=-----=-----=-----=
D|-----=--1--=-----=-----=-----=
A|-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=
E|-----=-----=-----=-----=-----=

in other words, barre your first finger on the D, G, B, and E strings and
lay your pinkie on the B and E strings on the fifth fret.

Note, hold the patterns listed above throughout your picking (the whole
chord). It allows for a ringing, sustained sound.
okay so here goes
(3/4 time)

   D              F#m        C#m        *A*
E|-2-----2H3P2----------2----4-----4----5-----5----------------

   1 + 2 3 e + a  1 + 2 + 3  1 + 2 + 3  1 + 2 + 3

   E            G      A      Bm  A/Bm Bm       Rpt 3x then

       1 + 2 + 3 +  1 + 2  + 3 +  1 +  2       +  3

coda (slightly slower)

The trouble with the maples

	      G          D            A

A                               Bm
they say the Oaks are just too lofty

	  G       D       A
and they grab up all the light

 A                              Bm
but the Oaks can't help their feelings

	 G        D          A
If they like the way they're made

F#mF#mF#mF#mF#mF#mF#mF#mF#mF#m

F#mF#mF#mG G G G G G G G G G
Can't be happy in their shade


AAAAA AAAAA AAA GGG F#mF#mF#m EEE


(for the following sections use chord voicings as spelled out in beginning)


 D
There is trouble


 F#m
In the forest


 C#m                   *A*
And the creatures all have fled


 E
while the maples


	G    A
scream "Opression"


	Bm    Bm  A/Bm    Bm    Bm
and the oaks just shake their heads

The next part was transcribed by Tony Z.
I got it from the FTP site syrinx.umd.edu in the rush/incoming directory
under the_trees.bridge
any complaints about the following section, please send to
anthonyz@cs.arizona.edu

Ok, the patterns here aren't quite note-for-note, but do outline the
chords
Alex plays, with the open strings (B,E) ringing over the top. Playing it
this way flows well, fits the part, and fools 99% of all loyal Rush fans
who hear it.

Hope this helps.
Tony Z.

Time changing to 3/4 again (or 6/8)

          D              F#

There is trouble in the forest,
         C#m                A
And the creatures all have fled,
        E             G           A

As the Maples scream `Oppression`
         Bm         Bm [a few times]
And the Oaks just shake their heads

repeat this chord scheme. Then play the Bm for two bars instead of
one and move into the solo. Get a drummer with woodblocks :-)

        A               B
So the Maples formed a union
     G        D     A
And demanded equal rights.
      A                 B
"The Oaks are just too greedy;
         G         D       A
We will make them give us light."
             A           B
Now there's no more Oak oppression,
          G        D     A
For they passed a Noble Law,
         F# F# F# (you get the idea)
And the Trees are all kept equal
    G G G (etc)       A
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
