[Am]Yew that is old, in churchyard mould, he breedeth a mighty bow

Verse 3:
[Am]Elm, she hates mankind and waits, til every gust be laid,
To [Fmaj7]drop a limb on the head of him that anyway trusts her [G]shade,

He'll [Fmaj7]take no wrong when he lyeth
along 'neath Oak, and Ash, and T[G]Thorn

Verse 4:
Oh, do [Am]not tell the priest our plight,
for he would call it a sin, -A SIN!-
But we[Am]we've been out in the woods all night, a-conjuring summer in,
We bri[Am]bring you good news by word of mouth, good news for cattle and corn
[Am]Sure as the sun come up from the south, by Oak, and Ash, and [D]Thorn.
