Blackberry Stone

    Am         C
Well I own this feel
    Am        C
And I rode the sky
    Am        C         E           F
And I have no reason to reason with you

       Am                         C
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered,
      G                                 Am
but I understand that I'd never let it go
                                  C
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
      G                                 Am
But I understand the world does what it does

    F             C            G
You never did learn to let the little things go,
        F            C            G
And you never did learn to let me be.
        F            C          G
And you never did learn to let little people grow,
    F            C         G
You never did learn how to see.

      Am                           C
But I whisper that I love this man now and for forever,
        G                             Am
To your soul as it floats out of the window.
       F              C           G
To the world that you turned your back on,
       F              C               G
To the world that never really let you be.

     Am             C
I am lower now, and lower still,
            F               C               G
And you did always say that one day I would suffer,
        F               C                G
You did always say that people get their pay,

        F               C             G
You did always say that I was going places,
             F                C         G
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.


[Chorus]

      Am                         C
But I couldn't turn my back on a world,
                         G
For what I like wouldn't let me,
      Am                         C
But i couldn't turn my back on a world,
                   G
For what I like anyday

Instrumental break (not here in every version) - Carry on same chords

      Am                         C
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,
                         G
for what I like wouldn't let me
      Am                         C
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,
                 G
for what I like I needed
      Am
And I shouldn't turn my back,
     C                        G       C     G
on a sweet smelling Blackberry Stone.
