White Ash And Black Ash chords by Fred Eaglesmith

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
E minorEm


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


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

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


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