verse 1:
G Bb G
I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone
G D G
And the people that dwelled there were marble
G Bb G
I listened in vain for any fountainâ??s silver tone
G D G
In vain for any sweet birdâ??s friendly warble
1:
C F G
It was silent as the grave in that city of stone
F C
Not one soul to save
Bb D
Not one voice to cheer me on
G
I was frightened in my heart
Bb G
And cold to the bone
G
As I wandered in my dream
D G
Through that city of stone
verse 2:
G Bb G
I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone
G D G
And the people that dwelled there were marble
G Bb G
I wandered the alleyways in search of my home
G D G
At a familiar place I rang the doorbell
2:
C F G
No one re-plied, but the door swung open wide
F C
So I stepped in-side
Bb D
My house to look u-pon
G
All cobwebs and ashes
Bb G
All signs of live were gone
G
And I feared for my soul
D G
In that city of stone
verse 3:
G Bb G
The most precious of gifts come in the strangest of forms
G D G
Sweet life quickens even in the charnel
G
Sometimes weâ??re granted visions
Bb G
That serve us as a warning
G D G
How our passing deeds are writ in stone e-ternal
3:
C F G
So make not your heart into a city of stone
F C
The higher that you build those walls
Bb D
The surer over-thrown
G
For here stands a man
Bb G
Who turned back from too far gone
G
When he dreamed he was lost
D G
In a city of stone
G
Yes, here stands a man
Bb C
Who turned back from too far gone
G D G
Oh, I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone.
