(song begins with chorus)
CHORUS:
          F#5
You gotta lift up every stone now sister
      E5               B5
Gotta lift up every stone now sister
      F#5
Gotta lift up every stone now sister
      A5          E5         B5           F#5
Gotta clear this field and build that wall 


           F#5
He was the prince of the county to the manor born
    E5                       B5
The sheets were bloody and dirty and torn
  F#5
Nobody saw nothing, not out this way
         A5        E5               B5        F#5
And they probably won't until the judgment day 

CHORUS X1

            F#5
There was a mighty whispering down at the church
          E5                      B5        
About the son of the father of a woman got hurt
          F#5
They were looking all over for somebody to pay
           A5          E5          B5     F#5
And that's you and me sister now every day 

CHORUS X1
 
BRIDGE:
         A5
Now the sun is bloody red
              E5                   F#5
And when it's gone somebody'll be dead
          A5              E5
Don't you cry a tear for me
          B5                C#5
Because I did what I could just to be free yeah

You gotta lift up every stone now sister
       E5                        B5         F#5
'cause one is the truth and the other's a lie
          F#5
You gotta lift up every stone now sister
           A5             E5       B5        F#5
'till they tear down the wall to make you cry 

CHORUS X2 

         A5          E5         B5           F#5
We gotta clear this field and build that wall

We gotta...
