Cross-cut Saw

by: Verne Garrison, Valley Park Mo-080307

Key DBanjo tuned Eb

Cross-cut Saw

Yeah (D) I thought I knew it all

Till Dad put me on the other (A) end

Of a cross-cut (D) saw

Now you pull, you dont push,

You pull it away from (A) me

I pull it back, away from (D) you

Down on your knees,

Cut that stump close to the (A) ground

Short small strokes at first

Let the steel teeth make their (D) sound

Zing (D) zing the saw cuts the cold winter air

Breathe out white puffs of (A) steam

Dont work against one another

Work together as a (D) team

Sawdust flakes drop in the snow

Yellow gold covers my (A) knees

The tall tree groans, and leans

Toward the undercut we made with (D) ease

The cut opens up wide

We pull the saw back, (A) away

The tall top quivers in the breeze

Leans over and thumps the ground (D) away

I look at Dad

He looks back at (A) me

Tight smiles, we both had

Lets cross-cut another (D) tree

Firewood, white oak, winter time..cross-cut saw.
