CHISELED IN STONE
 
CAPO 1
 
 
[Verse]
 
D
You ran cryin' to the bedroom
                 G
I ran off to the bar,
A7                              D
Another piece of heaven gone to hell,
D
the words we spoke in anger
                   G
just tore my world apart,
      A7                            D
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself.
D
Then that old man sat down beside me
                     G
and looked me in the eye,
          A7                            D
and said "Son, I know what you're going through,
D
You ought to get down on your knees
                         G               A7                     D
and thank your lucky stars, that you got someone to go home to."
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D         D7         G
You don't know about lonely,
            D
Or how long nights can be,
D                          A7
Till you lived through the story
                       D
That's still livin' in me,
              D7         G
And you don't know about sadness
                    D
'til you faced life alone,
                     A7
You don't know about lonely
                      D
'til it's chiseled in stone.
 
 
[Verse]
 
D
So I brought these pretty flowers
                      G
hoping you would understand
    A7                    D
sometimes a man is such a fool,
D
Those golden words of wisdom
                          G
from the heart of that old man,
A7                                D
showed me I ain't nothing without you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D         D7         G
You don't know about lonely,
            D
Or how long nights can be,
D                          A7
Till you lived through the story
                       D
that old man just told me,
              D7         G
And you don't know about sadness
                    D
'til you faced life alone,
                     A7
You don't know about lonely
                      D
'til it's chiseled in stone.
                     A7
You don't know about lonely,
                      D
'til it's chiseled in stone.

This is why country music is so important. What they call music today is so full of perversion, hate, and vulgarity it should not be allowed to be out there. I know some of you are going to hate me for what I said but think about it and what you listen too. A Good Samaritan tried to talk to a felon in jail. The felon bragged about all he done and the Good Samaritan asked which side of the bars he was on? Think!!!!! The Good Samaritan went home.
