Blackberry Stone Tab

Capo on 2nd fret

I first saw her live performance of this song when she was on Brightcove Live Session. I 
in love, hopefully you will too.

Chords used:

,              
Well I, own this field
,              
And I wrote this sky
,              ,                 
And I have no reason, to reason with you

,                                                        
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I'd understand that I'd 
let it go
,                                                        
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I'd understand that the 
eyes sort of does

,                               
And you never did learn to let the little things go
,                               
And you never did learn to let me be
,                           
And you never did learn to let little people grow
,                           
And you never did learn how to see

,                                                            
But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever to your soul as it floats out 
the window
,                                   
To the world that you turned your back on,
,                                   
To the world that never really let you be,

,                  
And I am Laura now, and Laura still,

And you did always say that one day I would suffer.
,                                     
You did always say that people get their pain.
,                                     
You did always say that I was going places,
,                                     
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.

,                                                             
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
,                                                             
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
,                                                             
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
,                                                         
 end: , 
And I couldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry stone
