George Jones – Tied To A Stone (Guitar)

C                                                         F
I woke up this morning and prayed to God oh let this be a dream

G7                                                              C
Her side of the bed was cold and laying there beside me was her ring

                                                                      F
With a note that she had left for me laying where she used to lay her head

      C                            G7                   C
And I felt the world fall in on me for this is what she said

          F                     C
Tied to a stone ain't no way to live

           G7              C
I can't go on living like this

              F                    C
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone

              G7                               C
Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone

                                                           F
I always thought I gave her everything that any girl could want

G7                                                        C
The diamonds on her fingers a new car and a big two-story home

                                                              F
Oh but home became a prison and looking back now I can see it all

       C                                    G7
Oh I'd give the world if I could change the things

                         C
That made her climb that wall

                   F                     C
She said tied to a stone ain't no way to live

           G7              C
I can't go on living like this

              F                    C
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone

              G7                               C
Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone

F                    C
I'd rather be lonely and face life alone

              G7                               C
Than to go on this way day after day tied to a stone
