City of Stone (Del McCoury)

VERSE 1:
G+G             Bb majorBb   G+G
I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone
G+G              D MajorD     G+G
And the people that dwelled there were marble
G+G             Bb majorBb        G+G
I listened in vain for any fountain?s silver tone
G+G              D MajorD    G+G
In vain for any sweet bird?s friendly warble

CHORUS 1:
    C majorC       FF       G+G
It was silent as the grave in that city of stone
FF        C majorC
Not one soul to save
    Bb majorBb        D MajorD
Not one voice to cheer me on
   G+G
I was frightened in my heart
  Bb majorBb     G+G
And cold to the bone
G+G
As I wandered in my dream
       D MajorD    G+G
Through that city of stone

VERSE 2:
G+G             Bb majorBb   G+G
I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone
G+G              D MajorD     G+G
And the people that dwelled there were marble
G+G              Bb majorBb      G+G
I wandered the alleyways in search of my home
G+G           D MajorD    G+G
At a familiar place I rang the doorbell

CHORUS 2:
C majorC     FF       G+G
No one re-plied, but the door swung open wide
FF        C majorC
So I stepped in-side
  Bb majorBb       D MajorD
My house to look u-pon
  G+G
All cobwebs and ashes
  Bb majorBb         G+G
All signs of live were gone
G+G
And I feared for my soul
    D MajorD    G+G
In that city of stone

VERSE 3:
G+G                   Bb majorBb      G+G
The most precious of gifts come in the strangest of forms
G+G            D MajorD   G+G
Sweet life quickens even in the charnel
G+G
Sometimes we?re granted visions
   Bb majorBb      G+G
That serve us as a warning
G+G               D MajorD     G+G
How our passing deeds are writ in stone e-ternal


CHORUS 3:
  C majorC       FF      G+G
So make not your heart into a city of stone
  FF        C majorC
The higher that you build those walls
  Bb majorBb     D MajorD
The surer over-thrown
  G+G
For here stands a man
      Bb majorBb        G+G
Who turned back from too far gone
G+G
When he dreamed he was lost
   D MajorD    G+G
In a city of stone
G+G
Yes, here stands a man
      Bb majorBb        C majorC
Who turned back from too far gone
   G+G            D MajorD    G+G
