Intro
F
Am
This is a story that began long, long ago
Dm A#
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 Am
But one day a rebel with a bullet in his chest
Dm A#
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
Dm F A# F
F Am
The heavy rifle bowed me over to the ground
Dm A#
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 Am
And then one day two men came with a cross cut saw
Dm A#
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
Dm F A# Am Gm C Dm
A# C
Three winter days aboard a northbound train
A# C
Three more beneath the hewer's careful blade
A# C
And while he worked he praised my rich red grain
A# C
Perhaps it was the soldier's blood that day
F Am
Now I'm the wooden arch that holds a mighty bell
Dm A#
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 Am
And on Sunday mornings when I hear that sweet refrain
Dm A#
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
[Outro]
