Stone

Capo 2

G
Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
G
Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
D         G          D        G
Time went by and the pool ran dry
D             G       D           G           D     G
Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
                 D     D(sus4)
By the hand of a man,
                 C      C(sus4)
whose name was Dan,
               G
Dan the blacksmith
G
Well once I was a sword, many years ago
G
And my blade was broad, many years ago
D             G            D           G
Wore it with pride, and into battle I'd ride,
D             G         D       G               D        G
on a warrior side, And cut my tail, their was loss of my tail
              D     D(sus4)
and soon did rust ,
C      C(sus4)
corrode to dust,
    G
oh my

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


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

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

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

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

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