Stepping Stones by Tom Howie
Stepping Stones
Standard Tuning
Em (022000)
Cadd9 (x32033)
G (320033)
D (000232) [drop your pinkey in and out on the e-string for a nice effect (000232/3)]
C (332010)
Listen to the song to try and make a decent strumming pattern, and also try fooling
with plucking for a sweet sound.
Verse 1:
Em C Cadd9
We know only of what has been,
Em C Cadd9
sifting slowly through all these dreams,
Em C G
and out of the gray,
D
a beautiful flame
Em C
Verse 2:
Em C Cadd9
So many choices soon to be made,
Em C Cadd9
No direction is clear of shade,
Em C
The future is yours, the future is yours,
G
The future is yours,
D Em (hold the Em, drag out the strumming pattern)
What will you make?
Chorus:
Em C G D
I'll always be like a moth to a flame,
Em C G
Bright lights beckon me,
D
They always pull me away,
Em C G D
Sometimes fog is clearer than the lighted way,
Em C G D
Seems I'm always here to follow that flame,
D
I'll follow that flame.
and so on....
Verse 3:
These stepping stones, Some will cut my feet.
The ones I choose though, are meant for me.
The future is mine, there's no better time, there's no better time,
To make things right.
Chorus x2
