[Verse]
B F# Eadd9
When we were young, we pledged allegiance
F# C#m7
Every morning of our lives
B F# Eadd9
The classroom rang with children's voices
F# B
Under teacher's watchful eye
B F# Eadd9
We learned about the world around us
F# C#m7
At our desks and at dinnertime
B F# Eadd9
Reminded of the starving children
F# B
Cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[Chorus]
E F#
Stones in the road
B E F#
We played like marbles in the dust
C#m7 G#m
Until a voice called for us
E B F#
To make our way back home
E F#
The stones in the road
[Verse]
B F# Eadd9
When I was ten, my father held me
F# C#m7
On his shoulders above the crowd
B F# Eadd9
To see a train draped in mourning
F# B
Pass slowly through our town
B F# Eadd9
His widow kneeled with all her children
F# C#m7
At the sacred burial ground
B F# Eadd9
And the TV glowed that long hot summer
F# B
With all the cities burning down
[Chorus]
E F#
Stones in the road
B E F#
Flew out from our bicycle tyres
C#m7 G#m
Worlds removed from all those fires
E B F#
As We raced each other home
E F#
The stones in the road
B F# Eadd9 F# C#m7
B F# Eadd9 F# B
[Bridge]
E
And now we drink our coffee on the run
F# B
Climb that ladder rung by rung
E
We are the daughters and the sons
G#m E F#
But here's the line that's missing
[Verse]
B F# Eadd9
The starving children have been replaced
F# C#m7
By souls out on the street
B F# Eadd9
We give a dollar when we pass
F# B
And hope our eyes don't meet
B F# Eadd9
We pencil in, we cancel out
F# C#m7
We crave the corner suite
B F# Eadd9
We kiss your ass, we make you hold
F# B
We doctor the receipt
[Chorus]
E F#
Stones in the road
B E F#
Flew out from beneath our wheels
C#m7 G#m
Another day, another deal
E B F#
Before we get back home
E F#
The stones in the road
B E F#
Leave a mark from whence they came
C#m7 G#m
A thousand points of light or shame
E B F#
Baby, I don't know
E F#
Stones in the road
