CHORDS: Jesse Welles – Every Grain Of Sand Chords on Piano & Ukulele
[Verse]
C
If I lived way up on
a high tall mountain
F
Up in the sky like
a monk
G
Listenin' to the
stream
F
Just the critters
and me
Huggin' on a big
C
tree trunk
C
If I lived way down in
a great rift valley
F
Watchin' the lilacs
blow in the wind
G
Watchin' alluvial
sands
In the cradle of man
F
Slip through our
C
fingers again
[Chorus]
C
Every grain of sand
Through the hour
glass
Every grain of
G G7
sand
I'm gonna squeeze
everything I can
F
Outta every last
C
grain of sand

[Verse]
C
If I lived way out
on a ship in the
ocean
F
Just my astronomy
to get by
G
On my last voyage
With all of the gods
F
On the deck of the
C
starboard side
C
And if I was born
under a bad sign
F
And all the meteors
fell like a rain
G
And all the snakes
among us
F
Were a speakin'
in tongues and just
F C
Rattlin' window pains
[Chorus]
C
Every grain of sand
Through the hour glass
G G7
Every grain of sand
I'm gonna squeeze
everything I can
F
Outta every last
C
grain of sand
[Instrument]
C F G F C
[Break]
C
Mark my name off
the log of the
captain
F
Mark my name off
the list
G
Many darts will
be thrown
And stick sad and
alone
F
Far from the targets
C
that they missed
[Chorus]
C
Every grain of sand
Through the hour
glass
Every grain of
G G7
sand
I'm gonna squeeze
everything I can
F
Outta every last
C C
grain of sand
