verse 1: 
G                         Bb      G 
I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone 
G                           D          G 
And the people that dwelled there were marble 
G                          Bb                G 
I listened in vain for any fountainâ??s silver tone 
G                            D        G 
In vain for any sweet birdâ??s friendly warble

 1: 
       C             F             G 
It was silent as the grave in that city of stone 
F               C 
Not one soul to save 
        Bb                D 
Not one voice to cheer me on 
      G 
I was frightened in my heart 
    Bb          G 
And cold to the bone 
G 
As I wandered in my dream 
             D       G 
Through that city of stone 

verse 2:  
G                         Bb      G 
I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone 
G                           D          G 
And the people that dwelled there were marble 
G                           Bb           G 
I wandered the alleyways in search of my home 
G                     D        G 
At a familiar place I rang the doorbell

 2: 
C         F              G 
No one re-plied, but the door swung open wide 
F               C 
So I stepped in-side 
   Bb              D 
My house to look u-pon 
    G 
All cobwebs and ashes 
    Bb                 G 
All signs of live were gone 
G 
And I feared for my soul 
        D       G 
In that city of stone 

verse 3:  
G                                      Bb           G 
The most precious of gifts come in the strangest of forms 
G                        D      G 
Sweet life quickens even in the charnel 
G                                     
Sometimes weâ??re granted visions 
     Bb            G 
That serve us as a warning 
G                              D          G 
How our passing deeds are writ in stone e-ternal

 3: 
   C             F            G  
So make not your heart into a city of stone 
    F               C 
The higher that you build those walls 
    Bb         D 
The surer over-thrown 
    G 
For here stands a man 
           Bb                G 
Who turned back from too far gone 
G 
When he dreamed he was lost 
     D       G 
In a city of stone 
G 
Yes, here stands a man 
           Bb                C 
Who turned back from too far gone 
      G                       D       G 
Oh, I dreamed I was lost in a city of stone.
