_ [Am] _ _ _ High on a hill [C] the old one stands, [Am] her limbs have been twisted [C] like her old [Am] knotted hands
And firmly she [C] holds to that rock that she clings, [Am] and she bends her head so softly [C] to the [Am] harsh salty winds
Enchanted lies her [C] valley _ immaculate below, [Am] and into that living [C] sea she'll watch [Am] her river flow

And they'll build four hundred houses [C] around that rock she's known, [Am] but none will be lifted and there'll [G] never be [Am] a home
And they'll kick that old thorn tree [C] with no further ado, cause [Am] some rotten old thorn tree was [G] spoiling [Am] their meal _ _ _
