[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
