Oak and Ash and Thorn Harmonica Tab

Oak, Ash, and Thorn

(Words, Rudyard Kipling. Music, Peter Bellamy)

5-3-3-34-45-555-6-6-7-6-665

Of all the trees that grow so fair, old England to adorn,

-6-6-77-7-66-655-4-45-4-34

Greater are none beneath the sun than Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

5-3-34-45-55

Of Oak, and Ash, and Thorn good sirs,

-6-6-66-665

All on a midsummer’s morn.

-6-6-77-7-66-65

Surely we sing of no little thing

5-45-4-34

Of Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

5-3-3-34-45-555-6-6-7-6-665

Oak of the clay lived many a day o’er ever Aeneas began

-6-6-77-7-66-655-4-45-4-34

Ash of the loam was a lady at home when Brut was an outlaw man,

5-3-3-34-45-555-6-6-7-6-665

And Thorn of the down saw new Troy town, from which was London born

-6-6-77-7-66-655-4-45-4-34

Witness hereby the ancientry of Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

Yew that is old, in churchyard mould, he breedeth a mighty bow

Alder for shoes do wise men choose, and Beech for cups also

But when you have killed, and you bowl it is filled, and your shoes are clean outworn

Back you must speed for all that you need to Oak, and Ash, and Thorn

Elm, she hates mankind, and waits till every gust be laid,

To drop a limb on the head of him that anyway trusts her shade,

But whether a lad be sober or sad, or mellow with ale from the horn,

He’ll taketh no wrong when he lyeth along ‘neath Oak, and Ash, and Thorn

Oh, do not tell the priest our plight, or he would call it sin,

But we’ve been out in the woods all night, a-conjuring summer in,

And we bring you good news by word of mouth, good news for cattle and corn

Now is the sun come up from the south, by Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.
