One Grain Of Sand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
An [Am]Appalachian Lullaby
[G]Pete Seeger [D]first founded in the Appalachians, I [Am]believe [G]I've
been in arguments with people before
about the simplicity
of the mountain people
because I spent quite a bit of [Am]time in the Oz[D]arks,
in the Appalachians, Smokies, [Am]all in there
The mountain people are not simple
people
They might lead simple lives, yes [G]I was look
[Am]ing for a guy on Beach Mountain
called Beardy Ed Presnell
he's a dulcimer
maker on Beach Mountain.
He's got a 60 [G]Cadillac four
-door [Am]on a shed.
No, no kidding, this guy lives so far
back in the mountains
I ripped my muffler off getting up there.
[G]And thi[Am]s is his name,
Beardy Ed Presnick.
He made him a little bit of money
selling a certain form of liquid and fruit jars
and he went down and bought himself
a Cadillac.
Drove it something like 180 miles
to his front door
built a little shed for it
and it's been sitting there since 1960
he sits in it every once in
while you know and listen to the radio
as I said they're not simple people
and this song I think sort of exemplifies
this because it's an Appalachian lullaby
called one grain of sand
One grain of sand
[Am]One [G]grai[Am]n of sand in a[G]ll the world
[Am]One grain [Am]of sand,
[G]one[Am] little boy, one [Am]little girl
One grain of [Am]sand,[G]
one lonely [G]star up in the blue
[Am]One grain of s[F#]and, o[G]ne lit[Am]tle me,
[Am]one little you.[Am]
One [Am]grain of [G]sand,
one blade of grass [G]on a windy plain.
[Am]One grain of sand,
[G]we [Am]come and go again, and again,
and again, and again, [Am]and again, and again.
I love you [Am]so.
[G]I l[Am]ove you so,
I [F#]love you [G]so, [Am]I love yo[G]u so
[Am]More than you will ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
[Am]ever know.
One grain of sand,
[G]One [Am]drop of water in
an endless [G]sea.
[Am]One grain of sand,
[G]one[Am] little you[G], one little me.[Am]
One little [G]you, one [Am]little me.
One grain of sand,
[G]one[Am] grain of sand in a[F#]ll the wor[G]ld.
[Am]One grain of s[Am]and[G]
One little boy, one [Am]little girl
One little boy, one little girl
[Am]
