Stone In The Water

INTRO: A D  C ~ ~ G


Now babe, is that you crying
                             D
'Cause I'm not lying next to you?
     D7
That sun going down
                                     G
Sure makes this lonesome town thirty shades of blue
                  G7
Here in Minnesota
                                 C
Waiting out the summer's hottest night
  Am              D
I think about you walking on the beach at home
      C           ~  ~ G
And I know you'll be alright



You've been calling on the telephone
                                          D
Spending all those hours alone 'cause you wanted to
    D7
And writing letters every night
                                G
It seemed right to say whatever came to you
                     G7
Go down by the water
                            C
And make a wish for you and me
    Am                   D
And watch the shorebirds running in
                 C       ~   ~  G
As the tide goes running out to sea


CHORUS:
C                    G
Throw a stone in the water
    C                 B7               Em            C      Cmaj7
And bless the son and daughter of this rolling ocean shore
     Am                D                G
Love waits to guide us safely home once more


INSTRUMENTAL: G  D  D7  G  G7  C  Am  D  C ~ ~ G



People walking with their dogs
                                  D
Stacking driftwood logs to make a fire
       D7
As the sea pulls at the sun
                                    G
The day flies on the run before the night's desire
                        G7
Love is all around you
                       C
As the day falls fast asleep
        Am             D
Ah, but all that I can send you now
                 C    ~     ~  G
Is a love that's only yours to keep


CHORUS:
C                    G
Throw a stone in the water
    C                 B7               Em            C      Cmaj7
And bless the son and daughter of this rolling ocean shore
     Am                D                G
Love waits to guide us safely home once more


OUTRO:  C  G  C  B  Em  C  Cmaj7
            Am                D                G
       Love waits to guide us safely home once more
