Verse 1
(C major) He walked over to the biggest tree
in the whole forest,
and he began to chop.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven... (D minor) (F major)
Young (G major) Jethro (C major) swung his (G major) mighty axe, (A minor)
(E minor) That axe was (C major) mighty (G major) fine,
And (C major) when he swung that mighty (G major) axe,
(A minor) Down (F major) came a (G major) mighty pine, (C major)
A timber here and a (F major) timber there, (G major)
I heard (C major) young Jethro (G major) call,
A (C major) timber here and a (F major) timber there, (G major)
Oh, (C major) see that tim (F major) (C major) ber (G major) fall! (C major)
Young Jethro saw a mighty (G major) fern, (A minor)
it (F major) nearly touched the sky. (G major)
Young (C major) Jethro swung his
mighty (G major) axe, (A minor)
(F major) now hear the (G major) mighty cry. (C major)
A timber here and a (F major) timber there, (G major)
I (C major) heard young Jethro call. (G major)
(F major) A (G major) (C major) timber here and a (F major) timber there, (G major)
I'll (C major) see that (F major) tim (C major) ber (G major) fall. (C major) (F major)
Timber! (D minor) (F major) Timber! (D minor) (F major)
Young (G major) Jethro (C major) swung
his mighty (G major) axe, (A minor)
Paul (E minor) Bunyan (F major) showed him how. (G major)
They (C major) help to clear this land (G major) of ours, (A minor)
(F major) so there be (G major) room to plow. (C major)
A timber here and a timber (F major) there, (G major)
I (C major) heard young Jethro call. (G major)
A (C major) timber here and a (F major) timber there, (G major)
oh see (C major) that tim (F major) ber (C major) (G major) fall. (C major)
Timber! you
