SONG: Like A Stone
TUNING: standard
TABBED: Aaron M
fantastic song. i’ve gotten most of it here, the only problem is there are maybe
2 or 3 chords which don’t give off the full sound that morello plays, so
corrections are very welcome and i hope someone can figure them out and any other
rusty spots for me. it’s here for the most part. should be self-explanitory.
oh yea, and those lyrics are what i could pick up. if you hear something
different, i’m open. like i said, this is the best i could come up with right
now, so if you have something that fits better, please send.

on a cobweb afternoon
in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess
i was lost in the pages
up above full of death
reading, i will die alone
if our god will lay to rest
anywhere we wanna go
in your house, alone to be
room by room, patiently
i wait for you there, like a stone
i wait for you there
alone
on my deathbed i will pray
to love god’s only angels
like a beggar to anyone
wilting me to heaven
to a place i recall
i was there so long ago
the sky was blue
the wind was bare
and they led me on
in your house, alone to be
room by room, patiently
i wait for you there, like a stone
i wait for you there
alooooone
alooooone
and long i read
until the day was gone
and i sat in regret
of all the things i’ve done
for all that i’ve blessed
and all that i’ve wronged
in dreams until my death
i will wander on
in your house, alone to be
room by room, patiently
i wait for you there, like a stone
i wait for you there
alooooone
alooooone
