White Ash And Black Ash chords by Fred Eaglesmith

Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
          G
For eight days in a row now,
         Em
I've stood by my window.
         D
They're coming, I know that
          Em
they're coming for me.
     G
I loved a woman,
        Em
but she wasn't human.
        D
And there's no use in
         Em
trying to make 'em see.

Chorus:
        G
White ash and black ash,
        Em
a sharp edge, a strong back.
      D
I've been a bad man,
         Em
and them are the facts.
         G
Got an old leather bible
       Em
and a buffalo rifle.
        D
There won't be a trial,
     Em
and I know that.
N.C.

Verse 2:
      G
Down by the water,
       Em
I caught me an otter.
       D
And after I shot it,
      Em
I boiled it down.
      G
Hiding for rope,
      Em
tallow for soap,
           D
Put the rest in a pot and
     Em
stir it around.

Chorus:
        G
White ash and black ash,
        Em
a sharp edge, a strong back.
      D
I've been a bad man,
         Em
and them are the facts.
         G
Got an old leather bible
       Em
and a buffalo rifle.
        D
There won't be a trial,
     Em
and I know that.
