I know that there is already a crd of this song, but, I found it hardÊ
to play, so changed it slightly and changed the key. Hope this works
for you as well as it has for me. Bill Jones
 
LET GO OF THE STONE
ARTIST: JOHN ANDERSON
 
VERSE 1:
 
[G] You shouldn‰t [D] wade out in deep water
When you [A] don‰t know how to swim
He [A7] told you it was over
And like a [D] fool you followed him
Into a world pool [A7}of emot [Bm]ion
[G] spinnin‰ out [D] of contr [Em}ol
It‰s [A7] killing you, but you won‰t let him [D] go.
 
Chorus:
Let go of the [G] stone
If you don‰t wanna [D] drown
In a sea of [A] heartache
[A7] that‰s draggin‰ you [D]down
It‰s pulling you [G] under
And you keep hangin‰ [D] on
If I‰m ever gonna [A] save you
Let go of the [D] stone.
 
Verse 2:
 
[G] oh don‰t you [D] realize the danger
And the [A] hurt you‰re headed for
Put [A7] your arms around me
And swim [D] with me to shore
Just let go of [A7]that ol‰ me[Bm}mory
[G]I know it‰s [D]hard to d[Em]o
But [A7]I‰ll be here
Holding on to [D] you.
 
Chorus:
Tag: if I‰m ever gonna save you
Let go of the stone
