As I rode out one morning, [D] just as the day was dawning, [A] I gave my usual greeting to [B] [Bm] the sun.
To seek my inspiration, [D] I knew my destination.
[A] A standing stone down where the [Bm] river runs,
[G] seeing no one [D] else in sight,
I sat [A] down to write, but I was [Bm] not alone.
[G] The sun a little colder,
[D] a hand upon my shoulder,
[A] a shadow fell across the [Bm] ancient stone.
He asked what I was writing, [D] it sounded so inviting.
[A] I said I'd just tell stories [Bm] with song.
The melody compelling, said [D] he had a tale worth telling,
[A] promised that it wouldn't take [Bm] too long.
[G] He never would [D] forget how his true love [A] he met at a [Bm] county fair.
[G] Of a land by the sea, a [D] cambric shirt with no seams, [A] and a life they would never [Bm] share.

He thought they'd be together [D] to live their lives forever, [A] but realized that he would soon [Bm] be gone.
Behind doors that were closing from [D] the will we were imposing on [A] the land we depend [Bm] upon.
[G] Their story [D] will be sung for many years [A] to come, but we reap what we [Bm] have sown.
Two
[G] broken hearts, [D]
two worlds torn apart, from [A] the day we made iron [Bm] from stone.
