Verse 1
There (G major) was (E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major)

You (D major) (G major) (E minor) know, he (Edim) (A major) tempted woman

And there's a (B flat major) cloud of smoke
(B flat minor) that cov (E flatsus4) ers up the
clear blue (C sharp major) sky (A flat major) (C sharp major)
If (A flat major) she'd have left that (A major)

to (E flat major) (B flat major) burn the oak tree down (E flat major)
An (B flat major) d now the battle is broke, (E flat major)
Lord (B flat major) it's solid ground
And (E flat major) (B flat major) the mountains are high,

There (B flat major) was a tall old tree
