[G] [Eb] to [F] the white [Eb] oak pine.
[G] I believe [Eb] you will lead me
[F] to the white [Eb] oak pine.
We [G] tore the clothes off our backs,
[F] looked into the sun,
[G]
bowed our mouths [F] with the sin of our tongues,
[G] and we sat between our tongues.
[C] And with stains [Eb] on our sheets,
[Gm] down there death was gone,
[C] cause the flesh [Eb] was we.
[Gm] Christmas [F] Eve, and the devil snuck
[Gm] and ran the [F] mess,
the shame is [G] hung.
I believe [Eb] you will lead me
[F] to the white [Eb] oak pine.
[G] I believe [Eb] you will lead me
[F] to the white [Eb] oak pine.

[C] [D] Now your tracks are still fresh,
and the [Cm] branches are [A] broken.
Nothing [D] was stolen,
[Cm] but your window was [A] open.
I [Gm] follow the track that you [F] look behind,
I [G] follow the rail and the [F] courtyard spot,
and the [G] grass still [D]
grows
on [C] the side of [Eb] the road.
Sun still burns,
and [C] the rain still [Eb] falls.
[G] Since the little [F]
fiery hole,
[Gm] I hold on tight [F] to the middle.
[G] I believe you [Eb] will lead me
to [F] the white [Eb] oak pine.
[G] I believe you [Eb] will lead me
to [F] the white oak [Eb] [Gm]
pine.
Vision [D] is dim,
[G] and the weather is colder.
I went out for a ten minute walk,
[C] that's the last thing I remember.
[G]
That was the [F] fifth,
now it's [G] December,
and the year will [Dm] soon go on,
and I hope you recall [G] the
I believe you will lead me
[F] to the white [Eb] oak pine.
I [G] believe you will lead [F] me
to the white oak
[Gm] I believe [Eb] you will lead me
[F] to the white [Eb] oak pine.
[G] I believe [Eb] you will lead me
[F] as the band [Eb] leads the blind.
[F] Light bulbs shine,
[Eb] [C] light bulbs shine,
[Eb] [F]
[Eb] [G] light bulbs shine.
