Intro
D
F#m
This is a story that began long, long ago
Bm G
I was a young oak tree in dark Missouri soil
D
And like all other saplings I had dreams of growing
A
Strong and tall
D F#m
But one day a rebel with a bullet in his chest
Bm G
Hung his rifle on my limbs and laid to rest
D
And there beside me as the blood soaked to my roots
A
The soldier sang
B song of grace
Bm D G D
D F#m
The heavy rifle bowed me over to the ground
Bm G
Two years I stayed this way until the rifle fell
D
And in this manner for a hundred years I grew
A
All my dreams
Not meant to be
D F#m
And then one day two men came with a cross cut saw
Bm G
They spoke of how my arch would hold a weight so strong
D
And I feared not the blade for such a worthy cause
A
And so I fell
I gladly fell
Bm D G F#m Em A Bm
G A
Three winter days aboard a northbound train
G A
Three more beneath the hewer's careful blade
G A
And while he worked he praised my rich red grain
G A
Perhaps it was the soldier's blood that day
D F#m
Now I'm the wooden arch that holds a mighty bell
Bm G
Three stocks before me cracked but I shall never fail
D
Up in a tall cathedral high above my dreams
A
Of long ago
D F#m
And on Sunday mornings when I hear that sweet refrain
Bm G
I see the soldier's face like it was yesterday
D A
Calling angels down from heaven with that hymn he softly sang
Of God's good grace
[Outro]
