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