_ _ _ _ There's a white oak on the hill at [D] my _ Oakland's [A] mountain home
That stands straight and true on that windy spur [E]-long
_ _ _ _ [A] And when the cold wind _ blows [D] its roots they [A] bend and moan
_ But when the storms are past it [E] straightens up and [A] goes on
_ _ _ _ _ _
Lord let me be like [D] that white oak [A] on the hill
_ And help me to live in your _ almighty [E] _ will
_ _ _ _ [A] Help me on my journey Lord [D] to travel [A] on my own
_ And give me the strength to straighten _ [Em] up and [A] go on
_ _ _ _ _ _

You know the troubles of this life [D] they sometimes [Bm]
get [A] me down
_ And when I look for my friend they're not _ always [E]
around _ _ _ _
Then [A] the good Lord seemed to say son [D] get up and do [A] my will
_ And always _ remember that [E] old white oak on [A] the hill _ _ _ _ _
_ Lord let me be [G] like that [D] white oak [A] on the hill
_ And help me to live in your _ [B] almighty [C#m] will
_ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] Help me on my journey [C#] [F#m] Lord to travel [A] on my own
And give me the strength to straighten _ [E] up and [A] go on _ _ _ _
