Del McCoury Band - City of stone

^GI dreamed I was lost in a ^Bbcity of ^Gstone ^GAnd the people that dwelled ^Dthere were ^Gmarble ^GI listened in vain for any ^Bbfountain’s silver ^Gtone ^GIn vain for any sweet bird’s ^Dfriendly ^Gwarble

It was ^Csilent as the ^Fgrave in that ^Gcity of stone ^FNot one soul to ^Csave Not one ^Bbvoice to cheer me ^Don I was ^Gfrightened in my heart And ^Bbcold to the ^Gbone ^GAs I wandered in my dream Through that ^Dcity of ^Gstone

^GI dreamed I was lost in a ^Bbcity of ^Gstone ^GAnd the people that dwelled ^Dthere were ^Gmarble ^GI wandered the alleyways in ^Bbsearch of my ^Ghome ^GAt a familiar place I ^Drang the ^Gdoorbell

^CNo one re-^Fplied, but the ^Gdoor swung open wide ^FSo I stepped in-^Cside My ^Bbhouse to look u-^Dpon All ^Gcobwebs and ashes All ^Bbsigns of live were ^Ggone ^GAnd I feared for my soul In that ^Dcity of ^Gstone

^GThe most precious of gifts come in the ^Bbstrangest of ^Gforms ^GSweet life quickens even ^Din the ^Gcharnel ^GSometimes we’re granted visions That ^Bbserve us as a ^Gwarning ^GHow our passing deeds are writ ^Din stone e-^Gternal

So ^Cmake not your ^Fheart into a ^Gcity of stone The ^Fhigher that you ^Cbuild those walls The ^Bbsurer over-^Dthrown For ^Ghere stands a man Who turned ^Bbback from too far ^Ggone ^GWhen he dreamed he was lost In a ^Dcity of ^Gstone ^GYes, here stands a man Who turned ^Bbback from too far ^Cgone Oh, I ^Gdreamed I was lost in a ^Dcity of ^Gstone.
