Chords with lyrics

Capo 4

E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm

E minorEm                D MajorD
Stone-cutters made them from stones
           C majorC
Chosen specially for you and I
         E minorEm
Who will live inside
                    D MajorD
The mountaineers gathered timber piled high
          C majorC
In which to take along
         E minorEm
Travelling many miles knowing they'd get here

E minorEm
When they got here all exhausted
    D MajorD
On the roof leaks they got started
C majorC                     E minorEm
And now when the rain comes we can be thankful

E minorEm
Oooo
D MajorD
Ooooo
D MajorD           C majorC
When the mountaineers saw that everything fit
                E minorEm
They were glad and so they took off


           D MajorD
Thought we were due for a change
  C majorC        E minorEm
Or two around this place
        D MajorD          C majorC
When they got back they're all mixed up
E minorEm
With no one to stay with


E minorEm
The village used to be all one really needs
                   D MajorD
Now it's filled with hundreds and hundreds of chemicals
        C majorC
That mostly surround you, you wish to flee
                 E minorEm
But it's not like you so listen to me listen to me

E minorEm
Oh and when the morning comes

We will step outside
       D MajorD
We will not find another man in sight
                  C majorC
We like the newness the newness of all

That has grown in our garden
          E minorEm
Struggling for so long


E minorEm
Whenever I was a child

I wonder what if my name had changed
            D MajorD
Into something more productive
              C majorC
Like Roscoe been born in 1891

Waiting with my aunt Roslein

E minorEm
Thought we were due for a change
  C majorC        E minorEm
Or two around this place
        D MajorD          C majorC
When they got back they're all mixed up

E minorEm
With no one to stay with


1891 they roamed around and foraged
They made their house from cedars
They made their house from stone
Well they're a little like you
Adn they're a little like me
We have all we need

E minorEm
Thought we were due for a change
  C majorC        E minorEm
Or two around this place
        D MajorD          C majorC
When they got back they're all mixed up
E minorEm
With no one to stay with

E minorEm       D MajorD         C majorC
When they got back they're all mixed up
           E minorEm
With no one to stay with
E minorEm       D MajorD         C majorC
When they got back they're all mixed up
           E minorEm
With no one to stay with
