Stones (chords)

Marko Hietala

Dm                       G
An old crone with a face of bone
Dm                                  Gm
A heart of stone within a circle of stones
    Dm                            Gm
She told me I’d have stones in my shoes
     Dm                        C
With stones in my mouth I kept singing the blues

   Gm        
My suit was torn
                    D#
In the emptiness of outer space
  Gm      F               D# 
I float forever between a rock and a hard place

Gm                       F        
Stones! Falling from the sky
     Gm                       F
More stones! Growing from the ground
Gm      Gm            Dm
Stones! Traveling the stars
      D#             A#
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Gm      Gm
Stones! Falling from the sky
F      Gm                       F
More stones! Growing from the ground

Stones! Traveling the stars
Dm     D#              A#
More stones! Boring, thankless, lifeless
Gm        (Dm)
Stones…

        Dm                       Gm
I never feel the call of stones’ clack
Dm                     C        Gm
Am I the butt of their constant crack?
Dm                              Gm
The marble shines and the sheet won’t fade
Dm                           C
A man can’t outlast whatever he’s made!
    
    Gm 
The righteous will gather
          D#
The first soul is soon to fly
Gm
Against the old war stone
    Gm               D#
The best of men will die...

Stones…

Em                      
Pyramids were made, now bury your dead
           D
The stones statement very easily read
      Em                
It’ll be just you! Your treasures and wife
    D                             C    Em            D C Em
The stones kept on sealing all of your lost lives...

Gm                       D#
Crushing wind, indifference

Our bones under the stones

Voyeurs of misfortune

Our bones under the stones
