Stones Of Years chords by Emerson, Lake And Palmer

Stones of Years, by ELP
Chords by Tiagoon


This is my interpretation of the song chords. This is not a guitar song, so all the
chords are based on what I heard from the song itself and not strictly a version from the
instruments themselves.
I hope you like it.

  Has the dawn ever seen your eyes?

  Have the days made you so unwise?

  Had you talked to the winds of time,
Dmaj7sus2                 D#7    G#7
  Then you'd know how the waters rhyme,
  D7       G7
  Taste of wine,

  How can you know where you've been?

  In time you'll see the sign
      F7 A#7 D#7* G#7
  And re-a--lize  your sin.
