Syntax is a branch of linguistic science that explains the structure of sentences used in language. The main method of analysis of sentence structure is drawing a tree diagram syntax. The tree diagram syntax shows a systematic and visual way to understand the structure of sentences. The study aims to analyze the syntactical structure and explain it visually in the form of the tree diagram syntax, the song lyric "Easy on Me" by Adele is the media to be analyzed in this study. Qualitative descriptive technique to be used in this study. The research involves several processes in data collection, including listening to the song, reading and understanding each lyric, and grouping the lyrics into their sentence types. Data was analyzed using Noam Chomsky's theory "Transformational Generative Grammar". The results of the study showed that there are 7 syntactical structures, namely; S = NP + VP in 10 lines, S = Conj + NP + VP in 5 lines, S = VP + PP in 1 line, S = VP + NP in 2 lines, S = Conj + VP in 1 line, S = Conj + Adv + NP + VP in 1 line, and S = Conj + NP in 1 line. From the result above the most commonly used type of syntactical structure in the song lyrics "Easy On Me" by Adele is S = NP + VP. This study contains various syntactical structures that can be used to learn English and improve grammar skills.
