[E] [E]
[A] [E] [B]
[A] When you and I [C#m] were young, all dirt and busted [C#m] knees,
[A] our secret place [G#m] was Holly Grove, [B] hidden by the trees.
[A] One day we were [C#m] walking, we felt eyes upon [C#m] our back.
[A] A man was walking [E] through our woods, [G#m] following our [A] tracks.
Swing low, [E] swing [A]
[C#m] low.
[A] He hummed the old [E] song softly as [B] he watched us in the snow.
Stay [F#m] low, [C#m] stay [A] low.
Maybe he [E] won't see us if [B] we leave from Holly Grove.
[A] Your mom was in the kitchen on [A] that next November [C#m] day,
[E] from porch door, [B] asking you to play.
[A] Then she locked [E] her collar and [A] her face when I'll see [C#m] through.
She [A] told me, Mommy [E] isn't here.
[B] I thought he was [E] with you.
[A] Oh, no.
[E] [A] Oh, no.
[C#]
[A] Where is [E] little boy?
[B] Where would he go?
I [A] don't [E] know.
I [A] don't know.
[C#]
There was a strange [E] man walking through the field.
[A] [E] [B]
I say I [E] went looking for [A] him.
They didn't have [C#m] much time.
[A] They caught him at [E] Texas, [B] couldn't link him to the crime.
[A] Just as he [E] was leaving jail, [A] they [C#m] overheard him say,
[A] [E] mask is dropping, where they play.
I love, [A] and love [C#] little
[A] [E] [B] boy wherever he would go.
[A] But no, [E] [A] [C#] no.
[A] [E] Ask me where we played in Holly [A] Grove.

[A] [E] [B]

[A] [E] [B]
[A] Days turned [E] into months, and [A] then the months
turned into years.
The things that [E] no one mentioned [B] have become our biggest fears.
[A] And one day [C#m] they cut down the [A] grove and built a factory.
[C#m]
They found him in our favorite spot, hidden [E] by the tree.
