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