  			Someone else already put this up, but a few words were wrong and  
it was also missing a few chords.  
This one is pretty darn close to the original for rhythm guitar.  
Hopefully the chords all stay where I put them! 
Any fancy licks etc you'll have to work out yourself ;) 
Enjoy! 

Written in Stone -- Randy Travis -- Key D 
  
          D  
I'm gonna take you down to the riverside where the water runs slow and wide  
          G  
There's a big ole rock out in the middle and I took my hammer and chisel  
    D  
And worked all night so you could see just how much you mean to me  
  G  
I carved your name right next to mine and it'll be there til the end of time  
A                  Em                 A   
... And my love'll last at least that long  
  
                  G  
  It's written in stone how I feel for you  
                  D  
  It's written in stone what I wanna do  
           Em                    C           D   
  Spend my life and the life hereafter lovin you  
                   G  
  And darlin if we live to be a hundred  
                 D                 Bm 
  or if we don't make it half that long  
                Em                   C                 D  
  I want you to know what I feel for you is written in stone  
  
          D  
There's a place on the edge of town when I was a kid I found  
G  
... Two names on a stone together lyin side by side forever  
D  
... And it was then and there I knew if I ever thought a love was true  
G  
... I'd surely wanna write it down on something that would be around  
    A               Em                  A  
When all the spoken words have come and gone  
  
                  G  
  It's written in stone how I feel for you  
                  D

  And darlin if we live to be a hundred

  I want you to know what I feel for you is written in stone ...  

A                 Em                A                      D  
... And when this life has come and gone ... Our love will still be  
  
             G  
  Written in stone how I feel for you  
             D
