Haven't find chords to "Ballad of Oxford" too, so here's my version (in Am): Ballad of Oxford (Jimmy Meredith) By Phil Ochs Am F G Am I'll sing you a song about a southern town where the devil had his rule Am F G Am When marshalls faced an angry mob to send one man to school Am G His name was Jimmy Meredith F E the tide he helped to turn F G For he chose to stay on that terrible day F E Am The land was soon to learn Am Dm There was blood, red blood, on their hands, Am Dm Yellow dirt on their clothes F G What they thought they were doing, F E Only god and the devil knows Am Dm There was hate, cold hate, in their hearts, Am Dm Shot from their souls like a gun F G And as they threw their stones and bricks, F E Am They screamed, "see what you have done!"
