 "Heart Of Stone"(McCann/Mahoney/O'Brien)
  From "Fortune's Favour"(2008)

  Another great Sean song,rather reminiscent 
  of the Beach Boy's "God Only Knows"...
  with bagpipes...

  capo, as per usual, on the third fret.

        D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)If the last thing I see is your face
                   C (x32010@1)           Em (022000@1)the last thing I feel is your warm embrace
      C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)    Em (022000@1)Then I would not be afraid
 C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)   Em (022000@1)I would go to a happy grave
        C (x32010@1)          D (xx0232@1)    Em (022000@1)If the last thing I see is you

 Should I suddenly disappear
 Or linger on for 100 years
 I would know no fear
 I would taste no bitter tears
 If the last thing I see is you

 Old heart of stone, help me forget it
 Cmaj7
 Old heart of stone,
 D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)    Gsus4 (3x0013@1)name="chord_320003@1">G Gsus2 (3x0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
 do you think she meant it
 Cmaj7 (x32000@1)      
 old heart of stone,
     D (xx0232@1)somehow I've always known
          G (320003@1)     Gsus4 (3x0013@1)name="chord_320003@1">G Gsus2 (3x0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
 That I'd regret it

 If I could have one wish
 It would be that you remember this
 Know that I did not stray
 For you were there to guide my way
 you and your beautiful face

 CHORUS, then Bridge:

    (G)      (D)        (C)       (D)
 If I should fall would you give chase
 (G)       (C)    (D)
 Would you follow me
 (G)                (C)
 Or find someone to fill my space
     G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1)      
 And keep you company

 If the sun refused to shine
 If it called for rain till the end of time
 I would not lose faith
 I'd sail my soul to a warmer place
 for you and your beautiful face

 CHORUS,

 fade out on "Oh, Heart of Stone"
 over Cmaj7 and Em chords.

 The G suspensions in the chorus are
 implied by the pipes and optional.
