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

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
