Tab written by Hamon Moravejzadeh.
Okkervil River - A Stone
Hey, everyone! This is the most accurate version
(at least on this site)
I've only written chords. Listen to the song
to get the accurate strumming of the chords.
Now it could be that when the Am comes that it
can be a chord that is similar to Am. Maybe Am7/C6.
Capo on 3rd fret
HoGt breath, rough skin
warm laughs,Cadd9 and smiling,
the lovliestEm words
whispered andD meant
you likCadd9e all these things.
But though you like Dall these things
you love a Gstone.
You love a Cadd9stone,
because it'Ds smooth and iAmt's cold.
And you'd love Emmost
to be tDold
that it's all youCadd9r own.
You love whiteG veins,
you love hard Dgrey,
the heaviest Amweight,
the Cadd9clumsiest shape,
the Emearthiest smell,
the Dhollowest tone
you Cadd9love a stone.
Bridge: G D Am Cadd9
And I'm found too Gfast,
called too fond of flames,
and then I'm phoning my Cadd9friends,
and then I'm shouldering the blame,
while you're picking Empebbles
out of the Ddrain,
miles Cadd9ago.
You're out singing Gsongs,
and I'm down shouting names
at the flickerless Cadd9screen,
going fucking insane.
Am IEm losing my cool,
overstating my Dcase?
Well, baby what Cadd9can I say?
You know I Dnever claimed
that I was a Gstone.
And you love a Cadd9stone.
You love whiteG veins,
you love hard Dgrey,
the heaviest Amweight,
the clumsiest Cadd9shape,
the earthiest Emsmell,
the hollowest Dtone
you love Cadd9a stone.
Bridge: G D Am Cadd9 (x2) G
You love a Cadd9stone,
because it's Ddark
and it's Amold
and if it could Emstart
being Dalive
you'd stop livingCadd9 alone.
(quieter, don't strum as much)
And I think I beliGeve
that if stones could Ddream
they'd dream of being Amlaid
side-by-side piece-by-Cadd9piece
and turned into a Emcastle
for some towering Dqueen
they're unable to Cadd9know.
And when that queen's Gdaughter
came of Dage,
I think she'd be Amlovely
and stubborn and Cadd9brave,
and suitors would Emjourney
from kingdomsD away
just to make themselCadd9ves known.
And I think that I Gknow
the bitter dismDay
of a lover who bAmrought
fresh brouquets every dCadd9ay
when she turned him Emaway
to remember some Dknave
who onCadd9ce gave just one rose, one day, years ago.
The end:
