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
E
A 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:
A B E
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
A B E
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
A B E
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
A B E
Chop, chop, chop give it all you can
A B E
Chop, chop, chop sang the wood chop man
A B E
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:
A B E
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
A B E
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
A B E
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
A B E
Chop, chop, chop give it all you can
A B E
Chop, chop, chop sang the wood chop man
A B E
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it rang
B
Timber, timber
A B E
Pow pa-pa-pa-pa Pow
A B E
Pow pa-pa-pa-pa Pow
A B E
Pow pa-pa-pa-pa Pow
B
Timber, Timber
A B E
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
A B E
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
A B E
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
A B E
Chop, chop, chop give it all you can
A B E
Chop, chop, chop sang the wood chop man
A B E
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it rang
B
Timber, timber
A B E
Chop, chop, chop you can hear him singing
A B E
Chop, chop, chop as his axe is swinging
A B E
Chop, chop, chop through the woods it's ringing
B7
Timber, timber
