Misc Traditional – The Ash Grove chords
Chords:
I know that this isn't perfect, but it's pretty close.C Am Dm G7The ash grove how graceful, how plainly 'tis speakingC F G7 CThe harp through its playing has language for me.C Am Dm G7When-ever the light through its branches is breaking,C F G CA host of kind faces is gazing on me.C Dm G G The friends from my childhood again are before meAm Dm G Dm CEach step wakes a memory as freely I roam.C Am Dm G7With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle oÂ’er meC F G7 CThe ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.C Am Dm G7Down yonder green valley where streamlets meanderC F G7 CWhen twilight is fading I pensively roveC Am Dm G7Or at the bright noon tide in solitude wanderC F G CAmid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.C Dm G G 'Twas there while the black bird was cheerfully singingAm Dm G Dm CI first met that dear one the joy of my heartC Am Dm G7Around us for gladness the blue bells were ringingC F G7 CBut then little thought I how soon we should part.C Am Dm G7My lips smile no more, my heart loses lightness;C F G7 CNo dream of the future my spirit can cheer.C Am Dm G7I only can brood on the past and its brightnessC F G CThe dear ones I long for again gather here.C Dm G G From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me;Am Dm G Dm CI lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome,C Am Dm G7And others are there, looking downward to greet meC F G7 CThe ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home.
