Chorus:
Em C D The stone it called to me G Em C Em C C D D (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me) Em C D A rock that spoke a word G Em C Em C C D D (An animated mineral it can be heard) Em C D G C Em D And though I once preferred a human being's company Em C D G C Em D They pale before the monolith that towers over me
