Verse 1
(A minor) (G major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor) (G major) (D minor) (A minor) I rode by
the old grave (G major) yard today. (D minor)
(A minor) Out in the city there's
a thousand graves. (D major) (Asus4)
(A minor) Row after row of names
(G major) carved in stone (D minor) , (F major)
resting quietly in the (G major) middle of it all. (A minor) (G major)
(D major) My heart (A minor) felt heavy
and I (G major) couldn't turn away
(D minor) Stand (A minor) ing there with
(G major) a giant red ear (D minor) (D major)
(A minor) Must have been a million tears (G major) that fell (D minor)
She (F major) said goodbye
as they depar (G major) ted one by (A minor) one
All the stor (F major) ies buried here, (A minor)
tales of love (F major) and war and (A minor) dying
(F major) Old men and (A minor) babies lying here togeth (E minor) er
And the (F major) red oak with her secrets, (A minor)
secret (F major) s she will keep (A minor)
Life (F major) goes on (A minor) around them,
the forgotten souls (D minor) (D major)
Beneath (G major) the (A minor) red oak tree (G major) (D major)
(A minor) (G major) (D major) (A minor) (G major) (D major) (A minor) (G major) (D major)
Here (A minor) lies the hands that built
the (G major) houses down the (D minor) street
Or (A minor) nate gables with hand (G major) -carved peaks, (D minor)
(A minor) they built the old church that
(G major) helped their souls (D minor)
Reach (F major) a better land,
be (G major) ginning at this (A minor) tree (D minor) (A minor)
Here lies the beautiful,
the young and old
Tears behind them now,
long, long ago
Laughter replaced by the quiet red oak tree
All (F major) her joys and struggles,
(G major) she cannot (A minor) speak
All the stor (F major) ies buried here (A minor)
Tales of (F major) love and war and (A minor) dying
Young (F major) Uli West (A minor)
Ly (D minor) ing here togeth (E minor) er
And the red (F major) oak with her secrets (A minor)
Secret (F major) s she will keep (A minor)
Life (F major) goes on around (A minor) them,
the forgotten souls (D minor) (D major)
Beneath (G major) the red (A minor) oak tree
(F major) You can tell which ones
had (G major) money by their stones (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
They're (F major) all the same now, (G major)
beneath this oak. (D major) (E minor) (D major)
(D minor) All the stor (F major) ies buried here, (A minor)
tales of love (F major) and war and dying, (A minor)
Handsome sol (F major) diers and their widows, (A minor)
lying here togeth (E minor) er,
An (G major) d (E minor) the (F major) red oak with her secrets, (A minor)
secret (F major) s she will keep (A minor)
Life (F major) goes on around (A minor) them,
the forgot (F major) ten souls (D major)
Beneath (G major) the red (A minor) oak tree
The forgotten souls (D minor) (D major)
Be (G major) neath the red oak (D minor)
