Capo 4

Intro: Em

Verse 1:

Em                              G
They came all the way from Tennessee
        Am                           C
And I know how you'd hate to let them down
             Em                                 G
But I'd been thinking 'bout the times his hands deceived us
    Am                            C
And wondering why you ever stuck around
        Em                              G
You were born a fair hair child of the valley.
          Am                                    C
Though at times felt you were tethered to the ground

Chorus:
            G
You're not a stone
             Am   C        Em
You're not a stone

Verse 2:

Em                                 G
I came to know the names of all my neighbours
      Am                      C
Made a home in a valley of my heart
      Em                             G
And I took a night the audience with strangers
           Am                    C
Though not one could ever calm me down

Chorus:
            G
And I felt alone
           Am   C  
And I felt alone
               G
Just flesh and bone
               Am  C
Just flesh and bone

Break: Em - G - C - G x4

Verse 3:

           Em                     G
And I came home to find you at my table
        Am                                     C
Said the worries that had plagued you now were few
             Em                                 G
And I'd been wondering if I had the strength to face it
        Am                             C
Son If I've found mercy surely you can too

Chorus:
                G
But you're not a stone
             Am   C
You're not a stone
               G
Just flesh and bone
               Am  C
Just flesh and bone

Verse 4:

        Em                       G
Now you hold the hand of one who named you
        Am                                        C
Turn to me and said you must make these words your own

Break: Em - G - C - G  repeat till finish
