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