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