The Yew Tree (Battlefield Band)
Keyboard
Em
B mile frae Pentcaitland, on the road to the sea
Stands a yew tree a thousand years old
And the old women swear by the grey o' their hair
That it knows what the future will hold
A D Em
For the shadows of Scotland stand round it
D A
'Mid the kail and the corn and the kye
G D
All the hopes and the fears of a thousand long years
Em D C
Under the Lothian sky
D
My bonnie yew tree
Em
Tell me what did you see
Guitar
F#m E D F#m
Did you look through the haze o' the lang summer days
D E F#m
Tae the South and the far English border
F#m E D F#m
A' the bonnets o' steel on Flodden's far field
D E F#m
Did they march by your side in good order
B E F#m
Did you ask them the price o' their glory
E B
When you heard the great slaughter begin
A E C#m
For the dust o' their bones would rise up from the stones
F#m E F#m
To bring tears to the eyes o' the wind
E
My bonnie yew tree
F#m D F#m
Tell me what did you see
F#m E D F#m
Not once did you speak for the poor and the weak
D E F#m
When the moss-troopers lay in your shade
F#m E D F#m
To count out the plunder and hide frae the thunder
D E F#m
And share out the spoils o' their raid
B E F#m
But you saw the smiles o' the gentry
E B
And the laughter of lords at their gains
A E
When the poor hunt the poor across mountain and moor
F#m E F#m
The rich man can keep them in chains
E
My bonnie yew tree
F#m D F#m
Tell me what did you see
F#m E D F#m
Did you no' think tae tell when John Knox himsel'
D E F#m
Preached under your branches sae black
F#m E D F#m
To the poor common folk who would lift up the yoke
D E F#m
O' the bishops and priests frae their backs
B E F#m
But you knew the bargain he sold them
E B
And freedom was only one part
A E C#m
For the price o' their souls was a gospel sae cold
N.C.
It would freeze up the joy in their hearts
E
My bonnie yew tree
F#m D F#m
Tell me what did you see
Solo
Bm E A F#m
Bm E A F#m
G F#m G F#m
G A B
F#m
And I thought as I stood and laid hands on your wood
That it might be a kindness to fell you
One kiss o' the axe and you're freed frae the racks
D E F#m
O' the sad bloody tales that men tell you
Slowed down
B E F#m
But a wee bird flew out from your branches
E B
And sang out as never before
A E C#m
And the words o' the song were a thousand years long
F#m E D
And to learn them's a long thousand more
E
My bonnie yew tree
F#m
Tell me what CAN you see
Hope you enjoy the Music.
Peace
