Verse 1
G
I was an oak tree.
I took a thousand years to grow,
C
G
D
and I've seen kingdoms come and go.
G
C
I've seen the losers turn to
G
D
lords and back again.
G
C
G
I held the rebels when they hung
D
them from my limbs.
G
C
G
D
When men of fortune cast their futures on the sea,
G
that's when they came for me.
Verse 2
G
And I was a slave ship,
under the standard of the cross,
C
G
D
a hallelujah holocaust.
G
C
And half were dead before
G
D
we reached the other shore,
G
C
and the captain never
G
D
saw the coming storm
G
C
G
that swept around the cape and
D
took us by surprise,
G
and only eight survived.
Verse 3
G
I was a camp fire, a pile of driftwood
in the sand.
C
G
D
The only comfort in this land.
G
C
8 hungry sailors roasted
G
D
acorns that they found,
G
C
and left me burning as they
G
D
stumbled towards the sound
G
C
of a church bell ringing out above
G
D
the ocean's wind,
G
and I was born again.
D
And I am an oak tree,
Verse 4
D
G
out along the wild cape fear,
C
G
D
and there is talk of freedom here.
G
C
G
D
Where is the kingdom that was here before I came,
G
C
where have the people gone
G
D
who only left their names.
G
C

A revolution's just a circle after all,
G
and every kingdom falls.
Verse 5
G
I am an oak tree,
G
D
G
D
if it takes a thousand years to grow,
C
G
I'll see kingdoms come and go,
I'll see kingdoms come and go.
