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 
 
D 
I'm gonna take you down to the riverside where the water runs slow and wide 
G 
There's a big ole rock out in the middle and I took my hammer and chisel 
D 
And worked all night so you could see just how much you mean to me 
G 
I carved your name right next to mine and it'll be there til the end of time 
A              G                  A  
And my love'll last at least than long 
 

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

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

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

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