[Gm] [G] It rained the [Gm] whole day, spent at his lover's grave,
Said his [D] goodbyes to her [Gm] family and friends, [Cm] Packed his things in a rusted car [D] and rode
off in the rain, And [Cm] came upon a [Gm] church in ruin with [D] an old
man dwelling within,
[E] [D] [E]
[Gm] Said, watch where you [D] stray, my friend.

[Gm] Old men [D] spoke of meetings [Gm] lost and without name,
Never shifting from [D] their warm and weathered place,
Found in the endless search for truth [Gm] behind the [D] tale,
Beneath the ash and [Gm] ember [D] lies only one stone to kill,
Watch
[E] [Gm]
[D] where you stray, my friend.
