Man Of Stone

Bm Bm

[Verse 1: Matthew Thiessen]

Bm                     A
The time came when you had to hit the pavement
    Em
You grew it like a caveman
F#                        G
Never going clean again
A                         Bm
Venturing out on your own
Bm
I had to give it to you
A
I was always acting cuckoo
Em
Thinking there was something
         F#                          G
That I'd actually be kinda scared-a
    A                        Bm
But I will be a man of stone

[Chorus: Thiessen]

        G              Em
Take it down, break it over
  Bm
Until they fit together
         A           G
Move the pieces all around
         Em         Bm      A
Break it over, from now     on
     G
From now on
     Em                      Bm    A
It's up to me to set the tone
     G
From now on
Em                  Bm    A
I will be a man of stone
     G      Em       Bm
From now            on

[Verse 2: Thiessen & Ellie Schmidly/Thiessen]

Bm
You got your ink
        A
But you think you might have taken it
    Em
Too far before forsaking it
    F#                        G
You covered up your nakedness
    A                         Bm
Now all you own is curtain clothes
Bm                       A
It's not a sin when your skin is telling everything
    Em
How could you ever lie about
    F#                              G
The girls that you were trying out?
A                      Bm
Laurie, Laura, Lauren Rose

[Chorus: Thiessen]

        G              Em
Take it down, break it over
  Bm
Until they fit together
         A           G
Move the pieces all around
        Em         Bm      A
Take it over, from now     on
     G
From now on
     Em                      Bm    A
It's up to me to set the tone
     G
From now on
Em                  Bm    A
I will be a man of stone
     G      Em
From now

[Bridge: Thiessen & Robert Gay]

Em                 F#
On my honor I will do my best
   G             A                   Em
To do my duty to God and my country
   F#                  G     A
To God and my country

[Outro: Thiessen & Schmidly/Thiessen]

          G*           Em*
Break it down, take it over
  Bm
Until they fit together
          A          G
Move the pieces all around
        Em         Bm    A
Take it over, from now   on
         G              Em
Break it down, take it over
   Bm
Until they fit together
          A           G
Move the pieces all around
        Em         Bm    A
Take it over, from now   on
     G
From now on
     Em                      Bm   A
It’s up to me to set the tone
     G
From now on
Em                    Bm   A
I will be a man of stone
     G
From now on
     Em                      Bm   A
It’s up to me to set the tone
     G
From now on
Em                    Bm*
I will be a man of stone
