Intro

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