Key: A (Capo 2nd Fret)

A
Like mighty oak trees

 	            D 	  	    A
They line a shaded, well-worn path

 	 D 	  	  	 A
They're the souls that have walked beside me

 	  	  	 E7
And I can see that, lookin' back

D 	  	 A
Friends that stood by me

A 	 D      E7 	 
Right up to the last

D
Like mighty oak trees

E7 	  	  	  	 A
They've helped me walk this well worn path

VERSE 2

 	     A
Down by the waters

        D 	  	       A
Of a stream that never ends

 	 D 	  	 A 	  	 Bdim
They sheltered me from the noonday sun and guard me

E7
from the wind

 	 D 	  	 A
Now I close my eyes and I can see them

C#M 	 Bdim 	 A
All       once  	 again

D
Like mighty oak trees

 	          E7 	  	        A
Down by that stream that never ends

E7
Strong and always there

 	 D 	           A
When I needed them the most

E7
You know they're rooted

 	   D 	     A 	    
Way down deep in my soul

            D 	                  E7
Now I think about 'em all the time


A 	  	 D
When I'm out on the road

A 	  	  	 E7
And every night when I lay down I know I'm lookin' up

 	 A
At mighty oak trees

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

A
Like mighty oak trees

D 	  	  	 A
They have stood the test of time

D 	  	  	 A
They were always there to lean on

 	  	  	 E7 	 
When strength was hard to find

D 	  	   A
I just hope that one day


You're lucky enough to find

D
mighty oak trees

E7
Mighty oak trees

A
Like those rowdy friends of mine
