George Jones - Tied to a stone

^CI woke up this morning and prayed to God oh let this be a ^Fdream ^G7Her side of the bed was cold and laying there beside me was her ^Cring With a note that she had left for me laying where she used to lay her ^Fhead And I ^Cfelt the world fall in on me ^G7for this is what she ^Csaid

Tied to a ^Fstone ain't no way to ^Clive I can't go ^G7on living like t^Chis I'd rather be ^Flonely and face life ^Calone Than to go on ^G7this way day after day tied to a ^Cstone

I always thought I gave her everything that any girl could ^Fwant ^G7The diamonds on her fingers a new car and a big two-story ^Chome Oh but home became a prison and looking back now I can see it ^Fall Oh I'd ^Cgive the world if I could change the ^G7things That made her climb that ^Cwall

She said tied to a ^Fstone ain't no way to ^Clive I can't go ^G7on living like t^Chis I'd rather be ^Flonely and face life ^Calone Than to go on ^G7this way day after day tied to a ^Cstone

^FI'd rather be lonely ^Cand face life alone Than to go on ^G7this way day after day tied to a ^Cstone
