[Verse]
              Dm
I've worked double shifts and
  C                   F
 overtime to pay the bills
     Dm            C
And gave up on my dreams
                 F
 when life got real
                     Dm
And through all the blood, sweat
      C             F
 and tears and the whiskey
          Bb
Something hit me

[Chorus]
      Bb               C
It's seein' my little boy
           Dm
take his first steps
     Bb              C
Its holdin' my baby close to me
            Dm
 through a thousand
windshield sunsets
      Bb
It's packin' up that
  C
college Chevy
     Dm          C        Bb
And waving' him down the road
              C
A few of the things
                Bb
That'll matter most
         C                Dm
When my name is written in stone
  Dm C F
Bb  Dm C F      Bb

[Verse]
         Dm             C
It ain't all that cash saved
            F
up in the bank
        Dm
Or that big ole wrap-around
  C                       F
 house at the end of the lane
           Dm
I've been tryin' to find the
   C              F
answers at the bottom of a drink
         Bb
Then it hits me

[Chorus]
      Bb               C
It's seein' my little boy
          Dm
take his first steps
     Bb              C
Its holdin' my baby close to me
            Dm
 through a thousand
 windshield sunsets
      Bb
It's walkin' my daughter
  C
 down the aisle
     Dm     C   Bb
And givin' her away

      Bb
It's buying' her roses
      C
and opening' her doors
   Dm       C       Bb
As we grow grey and old
              C
A few of the things
                Bb
That'll matter most
               C
These are the things
                Bb
That'll matter most
         C                Dm
When my name is written in stone

            Dm
Written in stone

How to play Stone: key, chords and progression

These are Stone chords by Kaleb Austin on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Stone by Kaleb Austin sits in D minor (one flat: B♭), and you need 4 chords to play it: Dm, C, F and Bb.

Most of the song cycles through Dm – C – F – Bb (i – VII – III – VI in D minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Bm, A, D, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
