Вступление
[Intro]
D A7 D
[Chorus]
D
The sun’s shining down, I’m just an old oak tree,
A7
with a story to tell if you’ll listen to me
G D
My branches sway when the wind blows free,
G
but the darkness that come here,
D
don’t you blame that on me
[Verse 1]
D
Young Dr. Joe spread a table cloth down,
Em D
Nurse Nancy packed a picnic for the love they had found
G D
Lord those were good times when they laid at my feet
Em A7 D
Where my roots and the laughter and the river bank meet
[Verse 2]
D
Little Bobby stole a clothespin and a clean white shirt,
Em D
the Johnsons had several so what could that hurt?
G D
The law moves swift when the gavel comes down
Em A7 D
and the rope goes taut when the crowd gathers ‘round
[Verse 3]
D
The light of the moon shines on burial mound
Em D
Town folk asleep back in Burnville Town
G D
My branches throw shadows on the old fishin hole
Em A7 D
Down on Little Bobby Britches and old man crow
[Interlude]
Em A7
[Chorus]
D
The sun’s shining down, I’m just an old oak tree,
A7
with a story to tell if you’ll listen to me
G D
My branches sway when the wind blows free,
G
but the darkness that come here,
D
don’t you blame that on me
[Verse 4]
D
The whole thing don’t set well with good Dr. Joe
Em D
So he packed up his black bag when the moon burned cold
G D
With a bottle of Brandy and a heart achin’ sound
Em A7 D
I watched him walk the path away from Burnville Town
[Verse 5]
D
As he approached me he knelt real near,
Em D
threw down a shot to hold back the tears
G C
Well, his hands start to tremble, but his voice was clear
Em A7 D
and he said a prayer for Bobby who once hung here
[Bridge]
Em Bm
The good folk of Burnville believe they’ve done right,
Em Bm
Bible in hand, evil to fight
G D
Still I weep for the fallen in the cold dark night
Em A7 D
and my visions come to haunt me in the still morning light
[Chorus]
D
The sun’s shining down, I’m just an old oak tree,
A7
with a story to tell if you’ll listen to me
G D
My branches sway when the wind blows free,
G
but the darkness that come here,
D
don’t you blame that on me
