SHALE
[Verse]
Em
One day I went walking
Dm
down the path
C G
that lead to the sea.
Em
And there stood he,
Dm
Shale, like
C G
he was there, waiting only for me.
Em
He grew me a tree, and
Dm
we shared apples
C G
we picked from the tree
Em
We spoke many words and
Dm
he told me they were
C G
meant only for me.
[Chorus]
G F Bb
Ohh mother, what a great man, but I never
C
saw Shale ever again.
G F
Ohh father, I've done what you asked of
E
me, I wrote this anthem for the great
F
wizard man.
[Verse]
Em
After we were done
Dm
he pulled down the sun
C G
and raised up the moon
Em
Then with only one hand
Dm
he made all the stones magic
C G
and they glowed right under me.
Em
I picked up all I could see
Dm
and started to skip them over the waves,
C G
and across the sea.
Em
Never will I forget
Dm
what we had done
C G
during that time on the shore.
Em
I will always remember
Dm
what Shale gave me
C G
on that very day.
[Chorus]
G F E
Ohh mother, what a great man, but I never
F
saw Shale ever again.
G F
Ohh father, I've done what you asked of
E
me, I wrote this anthem for the great
F
wizard man.
