Murdering Stone

C
 Man came down from the field
G
 A lonely horseman

Headin' back to the stable
F
 Said he was sorry

But his Cain was not able
  C                    G
To save us all from ourselves.

C
 Man sees the blood on every door
G
 And hears the laughter

In the good people's hearts
F
 Their pocket's emptied

Continues after the ad
And their coats ripped apart
        C                          
And the man makes a promise to the 
G
town.

F        G          C          Am
 I wanna give you my murdering stone
G            G7        C
 Give you my murdering stone.

C
 Happy-go-lucky's back in town
G
 Happy-go-lucky's says he's fit to 
be tied
F
 Now that his hands have done

A sin worse than pride
        C                         
And the man makes a promise to us 
G
all.

F        G          C          Am
 I wanna give you my murdering stone
G            G7        C         
 Give you my murdering stone.
  G      F       C   G


C
 Won't you take my, won't you take 
my
G
 I wanna give you my murdering 
stone.
F
 My hands are heavy now that all the
 guns are home
        C         G
Take my murdering stone.

F            G           C       
 And I wanna give you my 
  Am
murdering stone
G
 Please take my murdering, please 
take my murdering,
G7                       C
Please take my murdering stone.
