[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
   C                               
Of all the trees that grow so fair, 
F              E
Old England to adorn,
F                                
Greater are none beneath the sun 
E                      Am
than Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

[Chorus]
    Am                E
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good 
sirs,
C                    E
All on a midsummer's morn.
F                 Am
Surely we sing of no little thing
   E                 Am
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

[Verse 2]
C                              
Yew that is old, in churchyard 
      F
mould, He breedeth a mighty bow
F                                   
Alder for shoes do wise men choose, 
   E              Am
and Beech for cups also
C                                  
But when you have killed, and your 
                  F               
bowl it is filled, and your shoes 
        E
are clean outworn
F                                   
Back you must speed for all that you
     E                    Am
need to Oak, and Ash, and Thorn

[Chorus]
    Am                E
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good 
sirs,
C                    E
All on a midsummer's morn.
F                 Am
Surely we sing of no little thing
   E                 Am
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.
    Am                E
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good 
sirs,
C                    E
All on a midsummer's morn.

   E                 Am
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

[Verse 3]
C                                 
Elm, she hates mankind and waits, 
F                 E
Till every gust be laid,
F                                 
To drop a limb on the head of him 
E                      Am
that anyway trusts her shade,
C                                  
But whether a lad be sober or sad, 
F                           E
or mellow with ale from the horn,
F                                 
He'll take no wrong when he lyeth 
      E                       Am
along 'neath Oak, and Ash, and 
Thorn


[Chorus]
     Am                E
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good 
sirs,
C                    E
All on a midsummer's morn.
F                 Am
Surely we sing of no little thing
   E                 Am
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.
    Am                E
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good 
sirs,
C                    E
All on a midsummer's morn.
F                 Am
Surely we sing of no little thing
   E                 Am
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

[Verse 4]
C                              
Oh, do not tell the Priest our 
       F                      
plight, for he would call it a 
E
sin, (A SIN!)
F                                   
But we've been out in the woods all 
      E                  Am
night, a-conjuring summer in,
C                                   
We bring good news by word of mouth,
F                        E
good news for cattle and corn
F                                   
As sure as the sun comes up from the
       E                    Am
south, by Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.
