[Intro]
C  Am  Dm  G
C  F  C G C
[Verse]
The ash grove, how Amgraceful, how Dmplainly 'tis Gspeaking
The Charp wind through it Fplaying, has Clanguage Gfor Cme
Wherever the Amlight through the Dmbranches is Gbreaking
A Chost of kind Ffaces is Cgazing Gon Cme
[Verse]
The friends of my Fchildhood aDmgain are beGfore me
Each Cstep wakes a Ammemory, as Dfreely I Groam
With Csoft whispers Amladen, its Dmleaves rustle Go'er me
The Cash grove, the Fash grove, aCgain is Gmy Chome
[Instrumental]
C  Am  Dm  G
C  F  C G C
[Verse]
Down yonder green Amvalley where Dmstreamlets meGander
When Ctwilight is Ffading I CpensiveGly Crove
Or at the bright Amnoontide in Dmsolitude Gwander
ACmid the dark Fshades of the Clonely Gash Cgrove
[Verse]
'Twas there while the Amblackbird was Dmcheerfully Gsinging
I Cfirst met that Amdear one, the D7joy of my Gheart
ACround us for Amgladness the Dmbluebells were Gspringing
The Cash grove, the Fash grove, that Csheltered Gmy Chome
[Outro]
With soft whispers Amladen, its Dmleaves rustle Go'er me
The Cash grove, the Fash grove, aClone is Gmy Chome

[Intro]

C Am Dm G

C F C G C

[Verse]

Am Dm G

The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking

C F C G C

The harp wind through it playing, has language for me

Am Dm G

Wherever the light through the branches is breaking

C F C G C

A host of kind faces is gazing on me

[Verse]

F Dm G

The friends of my childhood again are before me

C Am D G

Each step wakes a memory, as freely I roam

C Am Dm G

With soft whispers laden, its leaves rustle o'er me

C F C G C

The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home

[Instrumental]

C Am Dm G

C F C G C

[Verse]

Am Dm G

Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander

C F C G C

When twilight is fading I pensively rove

Am Dm G

Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander

C F C G C

Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove

[Verse]

Am Dm G

'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing

C Am D7 G

I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart

C Am Dm G

Around us for gladness the bluebells were springing

C F C G C

The ash grove, the ash grove, that sheltered my home

[Outro]

Am Dm G

With soft whispers laden, its leaves rustle o'er me

C F C G C

The ash grove, the ash grove, alone is my home
