Murdering Stone

C
 Man came down from the field
G
 A lonely horseman

Headin' back to the stable
F
 Said he was sorry

But his Cain was not able
  C                    G
To save us all from ourselves.

C
 Man sees the blood on every door
G
 And hears the laughter

In the good people's hearts
F
 Their pocket's emptied

And their coats ripped apart
        C                          G
And the man makes a promise to the town.

F        G          C          Am
 I wanna give you my murdering stone
G            G7        C
 Give you my murdering stone.

C
 Happy-go-lucky's back in town
G
 Happy-go-lucky's says he's fit to be tied
F
 Now that his hands have done

A sin worse than pride
        C                         G
And the man makes a promise to us all.

F        G          C          Am
 I wanna give you my murdering stone
G            G7        C           G      F       C   G
 Give you my murdering stone.

C
 Won't you take my, won't you take my
G
 I wanna give you my murdering stone.
F
 My hands are heavy now that all the guns are home
        C         G
Take my murdering stone.

F            G           C         Am
 And I wanna give you my murdering stone
G
 Please take my murdering, please take my murdering,
G7                       C
Please take my murdering stone.
