Stone

Capo 2

G+G
Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
G+G
Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
Time went by and the pool ran dry
D MajorD       G+G    D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD   G+G
Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
         D MajorD   D(sus4)
By the hand of a man,
         C majorC   C(sus4)
whose name was Dan,
        G+G
Dan the blacksmith

G+G
Well once I was a sword, many years ago
G+G
And my blade was broad, many years ago
D MajorD       G+G      D MajorD      G+G
Wore it with pride, and into battle I'd ride,
D MajorD       G+G     D MajorD    G+G        D MajorD    G+G
on a warrior side, And cut my tail, their was loss of my tail
       D MajorD   D(sus4)
and soon did rust ,
C majorC   C(sus4)
corrode to dust,
  G+G
oh my

G+G
Well once I was a daisy, many years ago
G+G
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
But I was eat by a goat who fell in a moat
D MajorD         G+G    D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD      G+G
And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
           D MajorD   D(sus4)
And was relieved to find
C majorC   C(sus4)
just how kind
  G+G
it all was


G+G
Well once I was a grub, many years ago
G+G
And I lived among that mud , many years ago
D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
But I'm a reckless mood, and I gave it a Coo
D MajorD            G+G    D MajorD            G+G   D MajorD        G+G
That was it with a prune, and when the good Lord was done, I walked with the sun,
      D MajorD   D(sus4)
I shed my skins
C majorC   C(sus4)
And tried my wings
  G+G
and flew away

D MajorD                  G+G
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
D MajorD                  G+G
And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
D MajorD                  G+G
And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible
       C majorC
I said pretty boy,
     D MajorD
Pretty boy,
    G+G
Saint Luke

(Guitar solo)

G+G
Well once I was a mule, many years ago
G+G
my master treat me cruel, many years ago
D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
By by was sick, so I moved to a kick,
D MajorD       G+G    D MajorD      G+G        D MajorD    G+G
So I took out a stick , laid it back across my back To an almighty crack
       D MajorD   D(sus4)
to my dismay
C majorC   C(sus4)
I cast away
      G+G
into the blue

G+G
Then I was born a human baby, many years ago
G+G
I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago
D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD    G+G
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child
D MajorD            G+G    D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD          G+G
Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer, caused the parson to swear
     D MajorD   D(sus4)
so I took my leave
C majorC   C(sus4)
To lie and thieve,
        G+G
on my way to jail

G+G
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
G+G
Known good times and disaster
D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD    G+G
But now I have a teacher and my teacher has a master
D MajorD            G+G    D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD   G+G
And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster
 D MajorD   D(sus4)
Don't need no proof,
C majorC   C(sus4)
'cause that's the truth,
        G+G
and I'll drink to that!
