Fred Eaglesmith - White ash and black ash

For eight days in a ^Grow now, I've stood by my ^Emwindow. They're coming, I ^Dknow that they're coming for ^Emme. I loved a ^Gwoman, but she wasn't ^Emhuman. And there's no ^Duse in trying to make 'e^Emm see.

White ash and b^Glack ash, a sharp edge, a^Em strong back. I've been a ^Dbad man, and them are the ^Emfacts. Got an old leather^G bible and a buffalo ^Emrifle. There won't be a^D trial, and I know^Em that. N.C.

Down by the ^Gwater, I caught me a^Emn otter. And after I s^Dhot it, I boiled it ^Emdown. Hiding for ^Grope, tallow for ^Emsoap, Put the rest in a pot ^Dand stir it ar^Emound.
