Stone

E  E  E Em  E

[Verse 1]
E
Well, once I was a stone, a many 
years ago
E                         B      
Into a pool was thrown, a many 
     E
years ago
     A
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, 
excavated was I
    E
And tempered then beat in a fiery 
heat
                 B                 
By the hand of a man, who's name 
  A
was Dan
        E
Dan the blacksmith


[Verse 2]
E
Well, once I was a sword, a many 
years ago
E                         B      
And my blade was broad, a many 
     E
years ago
E
Worn with pride, into battle I'd 
ride at a warrior's side
      A         E
And I cut and I killed and was lost 
in a field
               B                   
And I soon did rust, and corrode to
 A
 dust
   E
Oh my


[Verse 3]
E
Well, once I was a daisy, a many 
years ago
E                             B  
In pastures green and lazy, a 
         E
many years ago

E                 A              
But I was et by a goat who fell 
    E
in a moat and forgetting to float
E
He sunk like a lead and stayed until
 dead
E                   B            
But was relieved to find well 
      A           E
just how kind it all was


[Verse 4]
E
Well, once I was a grub, a many 
years ago
E                              B 
And I lived in muck and mud, a 
          E
many years ago
E
But on the very first moon, I became
 a cocoon that resembled a prune
E
And When the Good Lord was done in 
the warmth of the sun
          B                    
I shed my skins, and I dried my 
 A                  E
wings, and I flew away


[Bridge]
          A                        
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to
     E
 struggle for survival
         A                         
And once I was a carp and lived in 
E
waters ornamental
         A                         
And once I was a myna bird, quoting
 E
 verses from the Bible
              B           A        
Said, "Pretty boy, pretty boy, St. 
E
Luke"

[Verse 5]
E
Well, once I was a mule, a many 
years ago
E                                  
But my master he treat me cruel, a 
B           E
many years ago
E
By and by I was sick, couldn't move 
to his kick, so he took out a stick
E                           A
And laid it right 'cross my back to 
an almighty crack
              B              A    
And to his dismay, I passed away, 
         E
into the blue


[Verse 6]
E
Then I was born a human baby, a many
 years ago
E                                 
Well I remember I was born unto a 
B
lady, a many years ago
        A                          
All our hopes they were piled on 
            E
the back of a child that turned out 
to be wild
E
Sent the devil a prayer and caused 
the parson to swear
E            B                A 
So I took my leave to lie and 
               E
thieve my way to jail


[Bridge]
E                A
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, 
soldier, sailor
      E
Known good times and disaster
    A                            
But now I've found a teacher, and 
             E
the teacher has a master
       A                           
And the master is perfection, so he
 E
 helps us get there faster
E                B           
It don't need no proof, because 
              A                    
that's the truth, and I'll drink to
    E
 that
