Name On A Stone

D  A  Bm G

D                             
It was just me and the preacher 
  G
standing in the rain
    D              A          
The day we laid my daddy in the 
  G
ground.
   D                               
We waited for his friends to show, 
G
nobody came
      D                  A        
So we said a prayer and headed 
      D
back to town.
    A                        Bm
And I thought about him, how sad his
 life had been
  G                        
I swore that someday I'd do 
           D
something worth remembering

[Chorus]
      G                           
I'd be more than just a name on a 
D
stone
 G                           Bm
More than just a box full of bones.

    G                              
I want someone to miss me when I'm 
D       A
gone
              G                    
I want to be more than just a name 
    D
on a stone.

[Instrumental]
D A  Bm G

D                                 
I wanna pick the Wildwood Flower, 
        G
catch a baseball in the stands
                   A             
Learn to tell some jokes and make 
        G
folks laugh
D                             
I wanna find the perfect woman, 
        G
wanna sail a boat to France
                     A           
Throw caution to the wind and not 
       D
look back.
          A                      
I wanna make a million memories, 
Bm
make a million friends
 G                               
And have 'em gather all around me 
                 D
when my journey ends

[Chorus]
           A                       
I wanna be more than just a guy, 
      Bm
who never lived, then he died, with
           A
nothing to show
         G                         
But some dates above a grave, that 
    Bm
the years have washed away
          A                D
Don't you know, don't you know I 
want to be

[Chorus]
 A              G
I want to be more than just a name
   A                           
Much more than just a name on a 
   D
stone.
 A        Bm     G
