I know that this isn't perfect, but it's pretty close.

C Am Dm G7The ash grove how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
C F G7 CThe harp through its playing has language for me.
C Am Dm G7When-ever the light through its branches is breaking,
C F G CA host of kind faces is gazing on me.
C Dm G G The friends from my childhood again are before me
Am Dm G Dm CEach step wakes a memory as freely I roam.
C Am Dm G7With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle oÂ’er me
C F G7 CThe ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.
C Am Dm G7Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
C F G7 CWhen twilight is fading I pensively rove
C Am Dm G7Or at the bright noon tide in solitude wander
C F G CAmid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.
C Dm G G 'Twas there while the black bird was cheerfully singing
Am Dm G Dm CI first met that dear one the joy of my heart
C Am Dm G7Around us for gladness the blue bells were ringing
C F G7 CBut then little thought I how soon we should part.
C Am Dm G7My lips smile no more, my heart loses lightness;
C F G7 CNo dream of the future my spirit can cheer.
C Am Dm G7I only can brood on the past and its brightness
C F G CThe dear ones I long for again gather here.
C Dm G G From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me;
Am Dm G Dm CI lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome,
C Am Dm G7And others are there, looking downward to greet me
C F G7 CThe ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home.
