Woody Guthrie - Stepstone

[Verse] E                            A I stood on the stepstone when schooldays was o'er E                       B Long for the time to go by E                       A Now that it's gone, I stand here tonight E            B         E Bid this old stepstone goodbye   [Chorus] E                            A Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home E                         B God bless the ones that I leave with a sigh E                              A The field will be widening and I will be gone E              B           E To ramble this wide world alone   [Verse] E                          A I stand on my stepstone at eventide now E                    B The wind whistles by with a moan E                    A Now it is gone and I stand here tonight E             B             E Goodbye to my stepstone and home   [Chorus]    [Verse] E                           A It's hard to be parted from those that we love E                            B When reverses in fortune have come E                                      A The world's strongest heartstrings are broken in twain E                   B              E From the absence of loved ones and home   [Chorus]
