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