I:
E
If you walk down through the woods today
You won't believe your eyes
A
There's an old log cabin on the Greatway River
B
Underneath the rolling skies
EA man called Woodrow all alone
You can hear the wood chop's cry
F#
He swings his axe all day
B
and chops the trees away
Chorus:
ABE
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
ABE
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
ABE
Chop, chop, chop give it all you can
ABE
Chop, chop, chop sang the wood chop man
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it rang
B
Timber, timber
II:
E
It's a bright light shines through the towering pines
You can hear the woodman's call
A
Through the raging rapids of the Greatway River
B
You can see the pine trees fall
E
As the sun goes down you can hear the sound
That echoes Woodrow's call
F#
He puts his axe away
B
until another day
Chorus:
ABE
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
ABE
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
ABE
Chop, chop, chop give it all you can
ABE
Chop, chop, chop sang the wood chop man
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it rang
B
Timber, timber
ABE
Pow pa-pa-pa-pa Pow
ABE
Pow pa-pa-pa-pa Pow
ABE
Pow pa-pa-pa-pa Pow
B
Timber, Timber
ABE
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
ABE
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
ABE
Chop, chop, chop give it all you can
ABE
Chop, chop, chop sang the wood chop man
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it rang
B
Timber, timber
ABE
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
ABE
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
ABE
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
