By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Tied To A Stone recorded by George Jones written by Max D. Barnes
CF I woke up this morning and prayed to God oh let this be a dream G7C Her side of the bed was cold and laying there beside me was her ring F With a note that she had left for me laying where she used to lay her head CG7C And I felt the world fall in on me for this is what she said
FC Tied to a stone ain't no way to live G7C I can't go on living like this FC I'd rather be lonely and face life alone G7C Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone
F I always thought I gave her everything that any girl could want G7C The diamonds on her fingers a new car and a big two-story home F Oh but home became a prison and looking back now I can see it all CG7 Oh I'd give the world if I could change the things C That made her climb that wall
FC She said tied to a stone ain't no way to live G7C I can't go on living like this FC I'd rather be lonely and face life alone G7C Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone
FC I'd rather be lonely and face life alone G7C Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone
