Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Stone cutters made them from stone[D]s
Chosen specially [C]for you and I
Who will live [Em]in- side
[Em]The mountaineers gathered timber
[D]Piled high
In which to take a[C]long
Driving many miles, knowing they'd [Em]get here

[Pre-chorus 1]
When they [Em]got here, all exhausted
On the [D]roof leaks they got started
And [C]now when the rain comes
We can be [Em]thankful

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Ooh ah o[D]oh
When the mountaineers
[C]Saw that everything fit
They were glad and so they [Em]took off
[Em]Thought we were due [D]for
A change or [C]two
Around [Em]this place
When they get [D]back
they're all mixed [C]up with no one to [Em]stay with

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Em][D][D][C][C]

[Verse 2]
The village [Em]used to be all one really needs
Now it's filled with [D]hundreds and hundreds of
Chemicals that mostly surround [C]you
You wish to flee
but it's not like you
So listen to me, lis[Em]ten to me
Oh, and when the [Em]morning comes
We will step outside
We will not [D]find another man in sight
We like the newness, the new[C]ness of all
That has grown in our garden
soaking for [Em]so long

[Pre-chorus 2]
Whenever [Em]I was a child
I wondered what if my name
Had changed into [D]something
more productive like Roscoe
Been born in [C]1891
Waiting with my Aunt [Em]Roseline

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Thought we were due [D]for
A change or [C]two
Around [Em]this place
When they get [D]back
they're all mixed [C]up with no one to [Em]stay with

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Em][D][D]
[C][C][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][D][D]
[C][C]

[Bridge 1]
18[Em]91
They roamed around and [D]fo raged
They made their house from [C]ce dars
They made their house from [Em]stones
Oh, they're a little like [D]you
And they're a little like [C]me

[Interlude 3]
We have all we need
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Thought we were due [D]for
A change or [C]two
Around [Em]this place
This [D]place
This [C]place

[Outro 1]
[Em]When they get back[D]
they're all mixed [C]up no one to [Em]stay with
When they get [D]back
they're all mixed [C]up no one to stay [Em]with
