Casting Stones

	  		
Intro:  G ~ Em    C D G  C   G  C 

verse 1 
      Em                         C                  G 
Do we close our curtains when we hear our neighbour call 
      D                             C             G 
So we won’t see him suffer when his back's to the wall? 
~     Em                  C               G 
Do we sit back silent and watch a brother fall? 
      D                      C            G    C   G  C 
Do we love so little, we are no friend at all? 


      D 
Do we look right past him  
  C               G     ~ 
Tell him life’s a glass thing 
Em                        C      D 
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns 
         G 
Where we pay for every last thing  
    C             G    ~ 
And retribution’s fast sting 
Em                  C    D   G          C   G  C 
Comes from hands forever casting stones 



verse 2 
      Em                  C           G 
Do we cut and condemn and never comprehend 
     D                 C       G    ~ 
That trust can turn into a dividend 
    Em                  C             G 
And love will leave you richer in the end 
         D                      C       G      C   G  C 
Or do we love so little, we are no true friend 

 
          D 
Oh, is it easier to blast him  
    C                  G   ~ 
And spend our time forecasting 
     Em                    C             D 
That he’ll, no doubt, lose everything he owns 
     G 
We remember every past thing  
    C            G   ~ 
Our memory’s everlasting 
    Em           C    D       G      C   G  C 
And so we are forever casting stones

verse 3 
        Em                   C       G 
When he looks on luck, do we have to have it 
        D                     C        G 
When he bends his back, do we reach to stab it 
~     Em                       C      G 
If he has a little hope, do we always grab it 
    D                     C         G       C   G  C 
And drag him down, like a hound on a rabbit 

 
      D 
Do we look right past him  
  C               G     ~ 
Tell him life’s a glass thing 
Em                        C      D 
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns 
         G 
Where we pay for every last thing  
    C             G    ~ 
And retribution’s fast sting 
Em                  C    D 
Comes from hands forever 
  G                  C            G   ~ 
Remember casting are memories everlasting 
    Em N.C. 
And so we are forever casting stones
