Seven Stones
Genesis
[Intro] I heard the old man tell his tale [Verse 1] Tinker alone within a storm And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree Seven stones lay on the ground Within the seventh house a friend was found And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere [Verse 2] Sailors in peril on the sea Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer and not yet seen They see a gull flying by The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere Dsus4 D Nowhere [Bridge] Gm Fsus4 F Gm Fsus4 F [Chorus] Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter The laughter of the world only grieves him believe him The old man’s guide is chance [Bridge] I heard the old man tell his tale [Instrumental interlude] Ebsus4 Eb Bbsus4 Bb / [Verse 3] Farmer who knows not when to sow Consults the old man clutching money in his hand With a shrug the old man smiled Took the money left the farmer wild And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere Dsus4 D Nowhere [Bridge] Gm Fsus4 F Gm Fsus4 F Dbsus2 Dbmaj9 Dbsus2 Dbmaj9 [Chorus] Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter The laughter of the world only grieves him believe him The old man’s guide is chance [Bridge] Dbsus4/ / / Dbsus4/ / / [Instrumental outro] / Abmsus4/ Bm7b5 Em Gmadd6
