INTRO: A D C ~ ~ G
Now babe, is that you crying
'Cause I'm not lying next to [D]you?
That [D7]sun going down
Sure makes this lonesome town thirty [G]shades of blue
Here in Minnesota[G7]
Waiting out the summer's hottest [C]night
I [Am]think about you [D]walking on the beach at home
C ~ ~ G
And I know you'll be alright
You've been calling on the telephone
Spending all those hours alone 'cause you [D]wanted to
And [D7]writing letters every night
It seemed right to say whatever [G]came to you
Go down by the water [G7]
And make a wish for you and [C]me
And [Am]watch the shorebirds [D]running in
C ~ ~ G
As the tide goes running out to sea
CHORUS:
[C]Throw a stone in the [G]water
And [C]bless the son and [B7]daughter of this [Em]rolling ocean [C]shore[Cmaj7]
Love [Am]waits to guide us [D]safely home once [G]more
INSTRUMENTAL: G D D7 G G7 C Am D C ~ ~ G
People walking with their dogs
Stacking driftwood logs to make a [D]fire
As the [D7]sea pulls at the sun
The day flies on the run before the [G]night's desire
Love is all around you [G7]
As the day falls fast a[C]sleep
Ah, but [Am]all that I can [D]send you now
C ~ ~ G
Is a love that's only yours to keep
CHORUS:
[C]Throw a stone in the [G]water
And [C]bless the son and [B7]daughter of this [Em]rolling ocean [C]shore[Cmaj7]
Love [Am]waits to guide us [D]safely home once [G]more
