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
Break: E5 - G5 - C5 - G5 repeat till finish
