_ _ _ _ Stonecutters made the _ [Gb] _ _ stones chosen specially [E] for you and I who live _ [Ab] _ _ _ inside. _
_ _ The _ _ mountaineers gathered [Gb] timber far and wide in which to [E] take along,
driving many miles [Abm] knowing they'd get _ here. _ _
When they got here they were all exhausted,
on the [Gb] roof leaks they got started,
and [E] now when the rain comes we can be [Abm] thankful. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
the [E] mountaineers saw that everything's there,
they didn't cry [Abm] until they took off. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Tony, what are you [Gb] _ for?
_ A change or [E] _ _ two _ around _ [Abm] this place? _ _
[Ab] When they [Gb] get back they're all [E] mixed up with no one [Abm] to stay with. _ _ _

A [Abm] fellow choose to be all one really needs,
that's filled with [Gb] hundreds and hundreds of chemicals
that mostly [E] surround who you wish to be,
but it's not like you so listen to [Ab] me, listen to me. _ _
[Abm] Oh, and when the morning comes we will step outside,
we [Gb] will not find another man inside.
We like the newness, [E] the newness of all,
that has grown in our garden stroking [Abm] for so long. _ _ _
_ Whenever I was a child I wondered what if my name had changed
[Gb] into something more productive like _ Roscoe,
been [E] born in _ 1891, _ waiting with my [Abm] anthros _ line. _
_ _ Tony, _ _ _ _ what [Gb] are you _ for? _
A change [E] or _ _ two _ _ around [Abm] this _ place? _
When they get [Gb] back they're all mixed [E]
up with no one to [Abm] stay with. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ 1891, they roamed around their _ [Gb] forest, _
they made their house from [E] _ _ _ cedars,
they made their [Abm] house from _ _ stone,
but they're a little like [Gb] you,
_ and they're a little [E] like me.
_ We have all [Abm] we need. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ What _ _ we were to [Gb] _ for?
_ A change or [E] _ two _ _ _ around [Abm] this _ _ _ place?
[Gb] This _ _ place, _ _ this _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Abm] place. _ _ _ _ _
When they [Gb] get back they're all [Abm] mixed up with no one to stay with. _ _
