Among The Oak And Ash - Come All You Tenderhearted
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
     F       Bb    F
Come all you tenderhearted 
       C              F
Your attention I will call
              Bb     F
I'll tell you how it started 
       C              F
Please listen one and all
 
 
[Verse 2]
               Bb           F
Last Wednesday night, there was a light 
     C            F
Seen shining on a hill 
         Bb       F
A mother ran with all her might 
      C              F
While everything was still
 
 
[Verse 3]
           Bb   F
She went into a neighbour's house 
     C              F
Some hundred yards away 
              Bb          F
She sat down, talked with them awhile
        C               F
But she did not mean to stay
 
 
[Verse 4]
                Bb         F
"Don't stay too long, dear mother, there 
    C                 F
For we'll be lonesome here"
               Bb  F
"I'll get some liniment", she said 
      C            F
"Then I'll return again"
 
 
[Verse 5]
             Bb      F
But when she started home again 
    C              F
Her house was in a flame
               Bb       F
She cried, "Oh lord, my babies they're gone 
    C              F
And I'm the one to blame"
 
 
[Verse 6]
            Bb   F
She bursted all asunder then 
        C                 F
And the flames rolled overhead 
             Bb        F
Their little bones lay on the ground 
    C                F
And they lay face to face 
           Bb    F
Each other did entwine 
     C           F
Each other did embrace
