Lyrics

The (G)ash grove, how grace ful, how (Am)plain ly ’tis (D7)speak ing; the (G)harp through it (C)play ing has (G)lan guage (D7)for (G)me.

When ev er the light through its (Am)branch es is (D7)break ing, a (G)host of kind (C)fac es is (G)gaz ing (D7)on (G)me.

The (G)friends of my child (C)hood (G)a (D7)gain are be fore (G)me; (D7)each (Em)step wakes a mem ’ry as (D)free ly (A7)I (D)roam.

With (G)soft whis pers la den, its (Am)leaves rus tle (D7)o’er me.

The (G)ash grove, the (C)ash grove a (G)lone is (D7)my (G)home.

My (G)lips smile no more, my heart (Am)los es its (D7)light ness; no (G)dream of the (C)fu ture my (G)spir it (D7)can (G)cheer.

I on ly would brood on the (Am)past and its (D7)bright ness.

The (G)dead I have (C)mourned are a (G)gain liv (D7)ing (G)here.

From (G)ev ’ry dark nook (C)they (G)press (D7)for ward to meet (G)me.

(D7)I (Em)lift up my eyes to the (D)broad leaf (A7)y (D)dome,

and (G)oth ers are there look ing (Am)down ward to (D7)greet me.

The (G)ash grove, the (C)ash grove a (G)lone is (D7)my (G)home.

My (G)home.
