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