Stone

A Well, once I was a stone, many years ago A Into a pool was thrown, many years ago E A E A Time passed by and the pool ran dry E A E A E A Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat E E(sus4 By the hand of a man, D D(sus4 whose name was Dan, A Dan the blacksmith A Well once I was a sword, many years ago A And my blade was broad, many years ago E A E A Worn with pride, into battle I'd ride, E A E A E A At a warrior’s side, and I cut and I killed, and was lost in a field E E(sus4 And I soon did rust, D D(sus4 I corrode to dust, A Oh my A Well once I was a daisy, many years ago A In pastures green and lazy, many years ago E A E A But I was ate by a goat who fell in a moat E A E A E A And forgetting to float he sunk like lead and stayed until dead E E(sus4 And was relieved to find D D(sus4 Lord, just how kind A It all was A Well once I was a grub, many years ago A And I lived in cooked red mud , many years ago E A E A But on the very first moon I became a cocoon E A E A E A That resembled a prune, and when the good Lord was done, in the warm copper sun, E E(sus4 I shed my skins D D(sus4 And I dried my wings A And I flew away E A Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival E A And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental E A And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible D I said pretty boy, E Pretty boy, A Saint Luke (Guitar solo) A Well once I was a mule, many years ago A But my master he treat me cruel, many years ago E A E A By and by was sick, couldn’t move to his kick, E A E A E A So he took out a stick, and laid it right across my back to an almighty crack E E(sus4 And to his dismay D D(sus4 I passed away A Into the blue A Then I was born a human baby, many years ago A Well I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago E A E A All our hopes were piled on the back of a child E A E A E A Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer, caused the parson to swear E E(sus4 So I took my leave D D(sus4 To lie and thieve, A On my way to jail A Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor A Known good times and disaster E A E A But now I've found a teacher and the teacher has a master E A E A E A And the master is perfection, so he helps us get there faster E E(sus4 Don't need no proof, D D(sus4 Because that's the truth, A and I'll drink to that!
