Oak Tree Chords

[Verse]
G      Am     C                G
I will go, to where this river goes
G      Am       C                   G
I will walk, to where the big trees grow
G           Am   C        G
oh to where yet, I do not know
G     Am     C              G
But I trust, in this river's flow
G          Am   C               G
And in the end, time, time will show
 
[Chorus]
Em  Am  Em
Big Old Oak
Em  Am  Em
Big Oak Tree
Am            C        Em
Three hundred years of stillness
Am            C             Em
Three hundred years of calm witness
C                D                     Em
I listen for the whisper of the silent one
C                D                     Em
I listen for the whisper of the silent one
G            Am    C                  G
Where, where next, speak, speak these trees
G           Am             C            G
I don't yet know, I'm just following my feet
G            Am    C                  G
Where, where next, speak, speak these trees
G           Am             C                   G
I don't yet know, I'm just listening inside of me
 
[Chorus]
Em  Am  Em
Big Old Oak
Em  Am  Em
Big Oak Tree
Am            C        Em
Three hundred years of stillness
Am            C             Em
Three hundred years of calm witness
C                D                     Em
I listen for the whisper of the silent one
C                D                     Em
I listen for the whisper of the silent one
G           Am        C                 G
You hold my hand as I walk these sacred lands
G        Am          C                G
Carry my soul, as we live and we grow old
G                   Am        C                G
Your branches, they dance and with the wind we play
G           Am       C             G
And by your side, my heart forever stays

[Verse]
G        Am   C          G
Wise old man, teacher of me,
G             Am   C                  G
silver-haired man, spirit of this oak tree
G          Am        C          G
I offer up myself in service of thee
G            Am            C              G
yee stand in majesty and I bow down on my knees
G                   Am        C              G
for in our hands we hold, the wisdom of this earth
G                     Am        C          G
and a guardian I will stand and protect my motherlands
