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