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