  • [Actually in Bb; capo 3; tuning: DADF#GD.]
    [The chords need some explanation. There are two ways to play G, and two
    ways to play D. The chords that say G? or D? are places where she sometimes
  • plays it one way, and sometimes the other. (It doesn't mean I'm not sure
    about the chord!) Also, the chord names are over-simplified; Am7 is really
    Am7(4), Em is really Em9, etc.]
  •  
    [G = 055500; D = 000020; C(9) = 230100; D* = 453000; Am7 = 777600;
    G* = 020100; Gsus4 = 030100; Em = 222000; Em/D = 022000; Em* = 222100.]
  • [Thanks a lot to Chris Pelow (pelow@krdc.int.alcan.ca) for the help with the
    chord fingerings, and John Smiley (jd4147@halcyon.com) for the videotape.]

    G D C(9) C(9) D? D? Am7 Am7
  • When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives
    G D C(9) C(9) D? D? G? G?
    The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye
  • G D C(9) C(9) D? D? Am7 Am7
    We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime
    G D C(9) C(9) D? D? G? G?
  • Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds
     
    C(9) C(9) D D G* Gsus4 - G* D D
  • And the stones in the road shone like dia - monds in the dust
    Am7 Am7 Em Em/D C(9) G* D D
    And then a voice called to us to make our way back home
  •  
    When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
    To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town
  • His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground
    And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down
     
  • And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires
    Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home
     
  • [guitar solo; same as intro.]
    [piano solo; use intro/verse chords.]
     
  • C(9) C(9) C(9) C(9) D D G* G*
    And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung
    C(9) C(9) C(9) C(9) Em* C(9) D D D D
  • We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the line that's missing
     
    The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street
  • We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet
    We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite
    We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt
  •  
    And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels
    Another day, another deal, before we get back home
  •  
    And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
    A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know
  •  
    [repeat guitar solo three times; end on G.]
