Keeper Of The Stones

Am                      G    F                     C
If you take me from my land  you leave me with no soul
Am           G          F   C
I am like a tree
Am           G      F             C
Everything I am is rooted in the soil
C               G        C
or I am just a stick to burn


[Verse 2]
Am           G       F            C
I see you my brother in your desert shining
Am                       G             F   C
with your hand of gentle welcome
Am                     G               F                   C
You're looking for my sense of humour, I wonder how you do it
C          G      C
carryin' a heavy load


[Chorus]
C                      G    F                 C
And I am proud to know you  the Keeper of the Stones
C              G           F  C
Elder of your tribe
C                    G        F            C
The truth is turning slowly  I feel it in my bones
C           G          F   C
rising on a beautiful day


[Verse 3]
Am               G         F                  C
I see it in your knuckles  I see it in your eyes
Am               G               F        C
you have been as low as you can go
Am                G       F                      C
It makes me happy brother to see how well you're travelling
C               G            C
you've risen from the ashes  yeah


[Chorus]
C                      G    F                 C
And I am proud to know you  the Keeper of the Stones
C              G           F  C
Elder of your tribe
C                    G        F            C
The truth is turning slowly  I feel it in my bones
C           G          F   C
rising on a beautiful day


[Verse 4]
Am               G       F               C
Soon you'll be a poppy  standing on your own
Am                       G                 F    C
they'll try to bring you down when you're tall
Am               G      F              C
But you have the power given in the stones
C            G             C
your victory belongs to us all


[Chorus]
C                      G    F                 C
And I am proud to know you  the Keeper of the Stones
C              G           F  C
Elder of your tribe
C                    G        F            C
The truth is turning slowly  I feel it in my bones
C           G          F    C
rising on a beautiful day
