[Intro]
C Ab
C Ab
[Verse 1]
C When the order came to dig the well C To crack the earth to pull the oil Ab To take the blood out from my mother’s veins C Well I broke the ground to feed my mouth C I did not here the warning bell Ab I could not put back in what I took out
[Chorus]
Fm How was I to know Ab How was I to know C I’d be a stepping stone Eb To the end Ab The end of everything Fm Eb How was I to know
[Verse 2]
C On the day I built a house so high C It’s antenna did scrape the sky Ab Well everyone applauded in my shadow C So my neighbour built a higher one C Then again his neighbour after him Ab Till soon racing through the clouds was all that mattered Bb Up and up the buildings went Cm Glass and stone and hard cement Ab Till all the green was left to die below
[Chorus]
Fm How was I to know Ab How was I to know Cm I’d be a stepping stone Eb To the end Ab The end of everything Fm The end of everything Eb How was I to know
[Verse 3]
C Long ago I caught a pretty fish C Blue and silver and delicious Ab And I knew she’d line my pockets green C So I bought a bigger boat that had C A net to trail the ocean and Ab I fished until one day that net was empty
[Chorus]
Fm How was I to know Ab How was I to know C I’d be a stepping stone Eb To the end Ab The end of everything Fm Eb How was I to know
[Bridge]
Bb And how are we to now Cm Turn these stepping stones around Eb Back to everything that matters Bb Ab Can that place even be found or is it lost Fm Ab Cm Eb Forever
[Outro]
Ab Cm The end of everything Fm Fm The end of everything Eb How was I to know?
