Trad folk
Key: E
6 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -6 6
3 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -3” 3
My way-far-ing ways took me a-way
7 -8 8 7 9 8 -8
4 -4 5 4 6 5 -4
From the girl I loved so true
-8 8 -8 8 -9 9
-4 5 -4 5 -5 6
I kissed her on the cheek
7 7 9 9 -9 7
4 4 6 6 -5 4
‘Neath the old chest-nut tree
-8 8 -9 8 -8 7
-4 5 -5 5 -4 4
When I bid her a-dieu
6 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -6 6
3 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -3” 3
The road I did ride was full of tears
6 7 -8 8 7 9 8 -8
3 4 -4 5 4 6 5 -4
I was so lone-some I could cry
-8 -8 8 8 -9 9
-4 -4 5 5 -5 6
Now I think of that girl
7 7 9 9 -9 7
4 4 6 6 -5 4
‘Neath the old chest-nut tree
-8 8 -9 8 -8 7
-4 5 -5 5 -4 4
As I lay down to die
7 -10 -10-10 -10 9 -9 9 9 8
4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6 5
So bu-ry me ‘neath the old chest-nut tree
-9 -9 -9 8 -8 7 8
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5
That we carved our names up-on
7 7 -10 -10 -10 -10 9
4 4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
And this lone-some old cow-boy
-9 9 9 9 -9 8
-5 6 6 6 -5 5
Will fi-n’lly rest in peace
7 7 7 -8 8 -8
4 4 4 -4 5 -4
And that tree will still stand
7 -7 7
4 -3 4
When I’m gone
7 7 -8 8 -8 7 -7 7
4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 4
I’ll lie ‘neath the old chest-nut tree
