lyrics
Gm Gm F C
That old familiar tree,
Gm Gm C Am
Whose glory and renown
Gm Gm F C
Spread over land and sea,
Gm Gm C Am
And you would hew it down?
Dm Dm C C
Woodman, oh woodman, you must spare that tree!
Gm Gm Bb Bb
Touch not a single bough for in my youth it sheltered me,
Am Am Dm Dm
And I'll protect it now.
'Twas my forefather's hand
That placed it near his cot:
There, woodman, let it stand,
Thy axe shall harm it not!
My mother held me here;
and father pressed my hand
For all that we hold dear,
the old tree it must stand
We stand here in a ring,
Close as your bark, old friend!
Above the wild-bird sing,
And still thy branches bend.
That old familiar tree,
Gm Gm C Am
Whose glory and renown
Gm Gm F C
Spread over land and sea,
Gm Gm C Am
And you would hew it down?
Dm Dm C C
Woodman, oh woodman, you must spare that tree!
Gm Gm Bb Bb
Touch not a single bough for in my youth it sheltered me,
Am Am Dm Dm
And I'll protect it now.
'Twas my forefather's hand
That placed it near his cot:
There, woodman, let it stand,
Thy axe shall harm it not!
My mother held me here;
and father pressed my hand
For all that we hold dear,
the old tree it must stand
We stand here in a ring,
Close as your bark, old friend!
Above the wild-bird sing,
And still thy branches bend.
