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.

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.
