[F C G] x 4
CThey built this house fFrom tall timber
CCut it down in the moGuntain air
CBuilding dreams Fin the city
CKept on going till the hGills were bare
CCame along wFith their axes
CBrought their trucks and chFainsaws too
CAnd they cut down all the tGall tall timber
FTall timber for Gme and you F2
CShe was a young girl sFhe was a hero
CStood on the stage the pGeople cheered
CBut the critics cut her dFown to zero
CBecause she sang the words tGhat they all feared
CAnd they came wiFth their axes
CThey brought their knives and oFpinions too
CAnd they cut her down like Gtall tall timber
FTall timber in the mGountain dew
