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