-6 6  -6 6  -5    5
I was born from love
 5  -4  5    -5  6    -5    5   -4
And my poor moth-er worked the mines
5 -5     6   6   6   -5   6   5   4    
I was raised on the Good Book Je-sus
 -5  6  -6  -6   6   -6    5
Till I read be-tween the lines
-5  6  -6   -6   6
Now I don't be-lieve
6  -5  5  -4   5   -4   6
I want to see the morn-ing
6   5   6    5   6   5   6
Go-ing down the Ston-ey End
7 -6  6   -6  6  5  6
I nev-er want-ed to go
 -4   4   5   4  -3”
Down the Ston-ey End
6  5   6  5    6    5  6 -6
Ma-ma let me start all o-ver
 6   -6 7-8 -8  8   -8  7  -6 6  -6
Crad-le me, Ma-ma, crad-le me a-gain
-6 6    -6  6  -5   5  -4
I can still re-mem-ber him
 5    -5    6   -5  5   -4
With love light in his eyes
 5  -5    6     6    6   -5   6   5   4
But the light flick-ered out and part-ed
-5  6  -66 -66 -6 -6  5
As the sun be-gan to rise
-5  6  -6   -6   6
Now I don't be-lieve
6  -5  5  -4   5   -4   6
I want to see the morn-ing

6   5   6    5    6  5   6
Go-ing down the Ston-ey End
7 -6  6   -6  6  5  6
I nev-er want-ed to go
 4    4  5 4 -3” 4-3”3 
Down the Ston-ey  End
6  5   6  5    6    5  6  -6
Ma-ma let me start all ov-er
 6   -6 7-8 -8  8   -8  7 -66
Crad-le me, ma-ma, crad-le me
