Tab written by Hamon Moravejzadeh. Okkervil River - A Stone Hey, everyone! This is the most accurate version (at least on this site) I've only written chords. Listen to the song to get the accurate strumming of the chords. Now it could be that when the Am comes that it can be a chord that is similar to Am. Maybe Am7/C6. Capo on 3rd fret GHot (320003@1)breath, rough skin Cadd9warm (x32030@1)laughs, and smiling, Em (022000@1)the lovliest words Dwhispered (xx0232@1)and meant Cadd9you (x32030@1)like all these things. DBut (xx0232@1)though you like all these things Gyou (320003@1)love a stone. Cadd9You (x32030@1)love a stone, D (xx0232@1) Ambecause (x02210@1)it's smooth and it's cold. EmAnd (022000@1)you'd love most Dto (xx0232@1)be told Cadd9that (x32030@1)it's all your own. GYou (320003@1)love white veins, Dyou (xx0232@1)love hard grey, Amthe (x02210@1)heaviest weight, Cadd9the (x32030@1)clumsiest shape, Emthe (022000@1)earthiest smell, Dthe (xx0232@1)hollowest tone Cadd9 (x32030@1)you love a stone. Bridge: G D Am Cadd9 GAnd (320003@1)I'm found too fast, called too fond of flames, Cadd9and (x32030@1)then I'm phoning my friends, and then I'm shouldering the blame, Emwhile (022000@1)you're picking pebbles Dout (xx0232@1)of the drain, Cadd9miles (x32030@1)ago. GYou're (320003@1)out singing songs, and I'm down shouting names Cadd9at (x32030@1)the flickerless screen, going fucking insane. EmAm (022000@1)I losing my cool, Doverstating (xx0232@1)my case? Cadd9Well, (x32030@1)baby what can I say? DYou (xx0232@1)know I never claimed Gthat (320003@1)I was a stone. Cadd9And (x32030@1)you love a stone. GYou (320003@1)love white veins, Dyou (xx0232@1)love hard grey, Amthe (x02210@1)heaviest weight, Cadd9the (x32030@1)clumsiest shape, Emthe (022000@1)earthiest smell, Dthe (xx0232@1)hollowest tone Cadd9you (x32030@1)love a stone. Bridge: G D Am Cadd9 (x2) G Cadd9You (x32030@1)love a stone, D (xx0232@1) because it's dark Amand (x02210@1)it's old Emand (022000@1)if it could start Dbeing (xx0232@1)alive Cadd9you'd (x32030@1)stop living alone. (quieter, don't strum as much) GAnd (320003@1)I think I believe Dthat (xx0232@1)if stones could dream Amthey'd (x02210@1)dream of being laid Cadd9side-by-side (x32030@1)piece-by-piece Emand (022000@1)turned into a castle Dfor (xx0232@1)some towering queen Cadd9they're (x32030@1)unable to know. GAnd (320003@1)when that queen's daughter Dcame (xx0232@1)of age, AmI (x02210@1)think she'd be lovely Cadd9and (x32030@1)stubborn and brave, Emand (022000@1)suitors would journey Dfrom (xx0232@1)kingdoms away Cadd9just (x32030@1)to make themselves known. GAnd (320003@1)I think that I know Dthe (xx0232@1)bitter dismay Amof (x02210@1)a lover who brought Cadd9fresh (x32030@1)brouquets every day Emwhen (022000@1)she turned him away Dto (xx0232@1)remember some knave Cadd9 (x32030@1) who once gave just one rose, one day, years ago. The end: G D Am Cadd9 X4 G (320003@1)
