(song begins with chorus)
CHORUS:
          F#m
You gotta lift up every stone now sister
      E               B
Gotta lift up every stone now sister
      F#m
Gotta lift up every stone now sister
      A          E         B           F#m
Gotta clear this field and build that wall 


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

CHORUS X1

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

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

          F#m
You gotta lift up every stone now sister
       E                        B         F#m
'cause one is the truth and the other's a lie
          F#m
You gotta lift up every stone now sister
           A             E       B        F#m
'till they tear down the wall to make you cry 

CHORUS X2 

         A          E         B           F#m
We gotta clear this field and build that wall

We gotta...
