"Heart Of Stone"(McCann/Mahoney/O'Brien)
From "Fortune's Favour"(2008)
Another great Sean song,rather reminiscent
of the Beach Boy's "God Only Knows"...
with bagpipes...
capo, as per usual, on the third fret.
If the last thing I see is your face
the last thing I feel is your warm embrace
Then I would not be afraid
I would go to a happy grave
If the last thing I see is you
Should I suddenly disappear
Or linger on for 100 years
I would know no fear
I would taste no bitter tears
If the last thing I see is you
Old heart of stone, help me forget it
Old heart of stone,
do you think she meant it
old heart of stone,
somehow I’ve always known
That I’d regret it
If I could have one wish
It would be that you remember this
Know that I did not stray
For you were there to guide my way
you and your beautiful face
CHORUS, then Bridge:
() () () ()
If I should fall would you give chase
() () ()
Would you follow me
() ()
Or find someone to fill my space
And keep you company
If the sun refused to shine
If it called for rain till the end of time
I would not lose faith
I'd sail my soul to a warmer place
for you and your beautiful face
CHORUS,
fade out on "Oh, Heart of Stone"
over Cmaj7 and Em chords.
The G suspensions in the chorus are
implied by the pipes and optional.
