This song is on Randy Travis' "Old 8 X 10" album , and I worked it out off  
the cassette I bought of it.  Believe the key is the same as Randy Travis  
sings it, but you can never tell when working songs out off of tape, but 
it sounds okay to me.  Hope it does for you, too. 
 
 
Written in Stone -- Randy Travis 
 
D5 
I'm gonna take you down to the riverside where the water runs slow and wide 
G5 
There's a big ole rock out in the middle and I took my hammer and chisel 
D5 
And worked all night so you could see just how much you mean to me 
G5 
I carved your name right next to mine and it'll be there til the end of time 
A5              G5                  A5  
And my love'll last at least than long 
 

                  G5 
  It's written in stone how I fell for you 
                  D5 
  It's written in stone what I wanna do 
           C5                                 D5  
  Spend my life and the life hereafter lovin you 
                   G5 
  And darlin if we live to be a hundred 
                 D5 
  or if we don't make it half that long 
                C5                                      D5 
  I want you to know what I fell for you is written in stone 
 

G5 
There's a place on the edge of town when I was a kid I found 
G5 
Two names on a stone together lyin side by side forever 
D5 
and it was then and there I knew if I ever thought a love was true 
G5 
I'd surely wanna write it down on something that would be around 
A5                   G5                   A5 
When all the spoken words have come and gone 
 

                  G5 
  It's written in stone how I fell for you 
                  D5 
  It's written in stone what I wanna do 
           C5                                 D5  
  Spend my life and the life hereafter lovin you 
                   G5 
  And darlin if we live to be a hundred 
                 D5 
  or if we don't make it half that long 
                C5                                      D5 
  I want you to know what I fell for you is written in stone 
A5                      G5                                 A5 
And when this love has come and gone our love will still be 
 

                  G5 
  It's written in stone how I fell for you 
                  D5 
  It's written in stone what I wanna do 
           C5                                 D5  
  Spend my life and the life hereafter lovin you 
                   G5 
  And darlin if we live to be a hundred 
                 D5 
  or if we don't make it half that long 
                C5                                      D5 
  I want you to know what I fell for you is written in stone
