lyrics

Stone and Wood Harvey Andrews

(G) (G/F#) (Em) (Em7) (C) (C/B)(Am) (D)
(G) Here in the (G/F#)quiet parish (Em)church
I sit a(Em7)lone and gently (C)search
For the (G)souls of those whose (Am)need
Was the (D)seed for all I (G)saw.
Puzzled (G/F#)by their lonely (Em)lives
They took their (Em7)axes and their (C)knives,
Etched their (G)hope, carved their (Am)dream
To make it (D)seem
They under(G)stood. (C) (G) (C) (G)

Stone and wood, (Em)wood and stone,
(Am)Candles lit by (D)those alone...
(G) Coloured glass, (Em)whispered word,
(Am)Do they pass un(D)heard, un(G)heard? (G/F#) (Em) (Em7) (C) (C/B)(Am) (D)

(G) Here in their (G/F#)rows on Sunday (Em)morn´
On benches (Em7)that their backs have (C)worn
They sang the (G)hymn, the chanted (Am)tune,
That told them (D)soon, so very (G)soon.
Bended (G/F#)knee their burden´s (Em)rest,
Cup of (Em7)wine, the wafer (C)blessed,
Solemn (G)prayer, the last A(Am)men,
Then once a(D)gain
Into the (G)light. (C) (G) (C) (G)

Stone and wood, (Em)wood and stone,
(Am)Candles lit by (D)those alone...
(G) Coloured glass, (Em)whispered word,
(Am)Do they pass un(D)heard, un(G)heard?(G/F#) (Em) (Em7) (C) (C/B)(Am) (D)

(G) Seasons (G/F#)´round and ´round a(Em)gain,
Young man´s (Em7)lust to old man´s (C)pain,
Young maid´s (G)sweet to old maid´s (Am)sour
Till the (D)final hour a(G)head.
In the (G/F#)churchyard here they (Em)lie,
They know the (Em7)answer now, but (C)I,
I sit (G)here and listen (Am)still
And always (D)will,
Until... un(G)til... (C) (G) (C) (G)

Stone and wood, (Em)wood and stone,
(Am)Candles lit by (D)those alone...
(G) Coloured glass, (Em)whispered word,
(Am)Do they pass un(D)heard, un(G)heard?
Stone and wood, (Em)wood and stone,
(Am)Candles lit by (D)those alone...
(G) Coloured glass, (Em)whispered word,
(Am)Do they pass un(D)heard, un(G)heard?(G/F#) (Em) (Em7) (C) (C/B)(Am) (D) (G)

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
