Stones by Jesse Watson
Capo 2. *- single strum
[Intro]
D D
[Verse 1]
D
These stones stand side by side
D
Dates born and when they died
G G
There's not a lot about their lives, they share
D
This one says Momma and Daddy on the other
D
And over there's my only brother
G G
They brought him home last summer, with a folded flag
A G
I drop by every now and then
A G
Lay my hands on these old rocks, close my eyes and talk to them
[Chorus]
D G
I say, Oh, I miss you, but I know you're doing fine
A G
I can't wait to see you, I know I will in time
D A G
I've got so much to say, but I'll do it face to face some day
A
These are wounds that time can't heal
G
Thank God that Heaven's real
A D
This ain't their home, it's just a field of stone
[Instrumental]
D A G A D A G A
[Verse 2]
D
If Heaven only had a phone
D
I'd keep it ringing all day long
G G
I tell you, this place just ain't home, without ya
D
I bet you Momma's holding Daddy's hand
D
Their bare feet in that golden sand
G G
I know every now and then, they're looking down on me
A G
My little brother, you're still my best friend
A G
You've been gone for way too long, so until we meet again
[Chorus]
D G
Oh, I miss you, but I know you're doing fine
A G
And I can't wait to see you, I know I will in time
D A G
I've got so much to say, but I'll do it face to face some day
A
These are wounds that time can't heal
G
Thank God that Heaven's real
A G A
This ain't their home, it's just a field
[Bridge]
G D
There ain't no good goodbye
G D A
There ain't no good goodbye
G D
There ain't no good goodbye
A *
Not a thing to numb the pain
G *
And why won't make it right
A *
No, why won't make it right
[Outro]
A
These are wounds that time can't heal
G
Thank God that Heaven's real
A *
This ain't their home, it's just a field of stones
