INTRO: G C  D  G

                    C                      G
Well, I saw a man today and he looked like you
                   C              D     C
And I found myself staring like a fool
                                  G
'Til he turned and I had to look away
                     C              G     G7
'Cause he was just a statue made of clay


CHORUS:
C
Statues made of clay, so pretty and so cheaply made
    G 
But they don't weather well
                        D
Like the strong granite stone
     C                D              G      C  D  G
They crumble and they leave you all alone


                                     C             G
Now I've been on the road, a country singer with a band
                      C                       D 
Playing all the honky-tonks and the one-night stands
      C                                G
But I think about you when you're far away
                           C              G     G7
And this road seems like a statue made of clay


CHORUS:
C
Statues made of clay, so pretty and so cheaply made
    G 
But they don't weather well
                        D
Like the strong granite stone
     C                D              G      
They crumble and they leave you all alone


INSTRUMENTAL: C   G   D   C   E  


    A                D                        A
Now you and I, we've been through the hardest times
                                D              E
There've been lonely nights and days without a dime
       D                                  A
But my love for you grows stronger day by day
                         D              A     A7
'Cause you're not just a statue made of clay


CHORUS:
D
Statues made of clay, so pretty and so cheaply made
    A 
But they don't weather well
                        E
Like the strong granite stone
     D                E              A      
They crumble and they leave you all alone
