[Intro]

Eb Bb, Bb7, F Bb, Bb7 (x2)


[Verse 1]

Eb Bb F
Why boasteth thy-self, o heathen men?
Eb Bb F
Playing smart and not being clever.
Eb Bb
I say you're working iniqui-ty,
F F7
To A-chieve vanity, if A-so A-so,
Eb Bb F F7
But the goodness of Jah-Jah, en-dureth for-ever.


[Chorus 1]

Eb Bb Bb7
If you are the big tree,
F Bb Bb7
We are the small axe.
Eb Bb Bb7
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
F Bb Bb7
To cut you down.


[Verse 2]

Eb Bb F
These are the words, of my Master;
Eb Bb F
No weak heart shall prosper.

Eb Bb
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
F F7
Shall fall in it, fall in it.
Eb Bb
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
F F7
Shall fall in it, (fall in it).


[Chorus 2]

Eb Bb Bb7
If you are the big tree,
F Bb Bb7
We are the small axe, (sharp and ready),
Eb Bb Bb7
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
F Bb Bb7
To cut you down.


[Bridge 1]

Eb Bb F Bb
Oooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, to cut you down.
Eb Bb F Bb
Oooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, to cut you down.


[Verse 3]

Eb Bb F
These are the words, of my Master;
Eb Bb F
Telling me that, no weak heart shall prosper.

Eb Bb
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
F F7
Shall fall in it, bury in it.
Eb Bb
And whosoever diggeth a pit,
F F7
Shall bury in it, (bury in it).


[Chorus 3]

Eb Bb Bb7
If you are the big, big tree,
F Bb Bb7
We are the small axe.
Eb Bb Bb7
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
F Bb Bb7
To cut you down.


[Chorus 4]

Eb Bb Bb7
If you are the big, big tree,
F Bb Bb7
We are the small axe.
Eb Bb Bb7
Ready to cut you down, (well sharp),
F Bb Bb7
To cut you down.
