Capo 4

Intro: E5

Verse 1:

E5                              G5
They came all the way from Tennessee
        A5                           C5
And I know how you'd hate to let them down
             E5                                 G5
But I'd been thinking 'bout the times his hands deceived us
    A5                            C5
And wondering why you ever stuck around
        E5                              G5
You were born a fair hair child of the valley.
          A5                                    C5
Though at times felt you were tethered to the ground

Chorus:
            G5
You're not a stone
             A5   C5        E5
You're not a stone

Verse 2:

E5                                 G5
I came to know the names of all my neighbours
      A5                      C5
Made a home in a valley of my heart
      E5                             G5
And I took a night the audience with strangers
           A5                    C5
Though not one could ever calm me down

Chorus:
            G5
And I felt alone
           A5   C5  
And I felt alone
               G5
Just flesh and bone
               A5  C5
Just flesh and bone

Break: E5 - G5 - C5 - G5 x4

Verse 3:

           E5                     G5
And I came home to find you at my table
        A5                                     C5
Said the worries that had plagued you now were few
             E5                                 G5
And I'd been wondering if I had the strength to face it
        A5                             C5
Son If I've found mercy surely you can too

Chorus:
                G5
But you're not a stone
             A5   C5
You're not a stone
               G5
Just flesh and bone
               A5  C5
Just flesh and bone

Verse 4:

        E5                       G5
Now you hold the hand of one who named you
        A5                                        C5
Turn to me and said you must make these words your own
