The Ash Grove

	  		I know that this isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. 

    C             Am            Dm           G7 
The ash grove how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking 
    C                F           G7           C 
The harp through its playing has language for me. 
     C        Am                Dm          G7 
When-ever the light through its branches is breaking, 
  C            F        G         C 
A host of kind faces is gazing on me. 
    C               Dm        G           G      
The friends from my childhood again are before me 
     Am            Dm        G    Dm  C 
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam. 
     C             Am        Dm            G7 
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o’er me 
    C              F         G7          C 
The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home. 

     C            Am            Dm           G7 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander 
     C           F        G7        C 
When twilight is fading I pensively rove 
   C             Am           Dm       G7 
Or at the bright noon tide in solitude wander 
  C            F             G         C 
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. 
      C               Dm             G          G      
'Twas there while the black bird was cheerfully singing 
  Am             Dm           G      Dm  C 
I first met that dear one the joy of my heart 
 C             Am          Dm              G7 
Around us for gladness the blue bells were ringing 
    C           F             G7             C 
But then little thought I how soon we should part. 

   C         Am            Dm          G7 
My lips smile no more, my heart loses lightness; 
    C           F         G7         C 
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer. 
  C        Am           Dm           G7 
I only can brood on the past and its brightness 
    C           F         G           C 
The dear ones I long for again gather here. 
      C         Dm              G          G      
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me; 
  Am         Dm          G      Dm   C 
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome, 
    C          Am             Dm          G7 
And others are there, looking downward to greet me 
    C              F          G7          C 
The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home.
