Statue Song Chords by Chris Farren

[Intro]

Em   D   
 C   C  
Em   D   
 C   C  
 
 
[Verse]

Em                 
    You carved 
    D       C
me out of stone
Em           D                 
    For 30 years, 
             C
you worked alone
Em                 
    You wore your 
 D              C
fingers to the bone
 
    You left you 

left your wife
                 (Em)
    You left your home
 
 
[Instrumental]

Em   D   
C    C  
 
 
[Verse]

Em                 D                
    You spent the first 
            C
year on my face
Em             D             
    A gift to God 
           C
in outer space
Em             D             
    And at the end 
          C
of every day
                                       
    You packed your tools 
             Em
in your briefcase
        D          C
    But I had to stay
 
 
[Chorus]

      D             
Oh, what I wouldn’t 
Em                C
give to be that small
     D               
To chase the rushing 
Em            C
river to the waterfall
 
 
 
[Verse]

Em                 D               C
    And since my scaffolding came down
Em                D               C
    The tourists come from every town
Em                   D       
    They take their pictures 
         C
and move on
                                (Em)
    Through the gift shop and beyond
 
 
[Instrumental]

Em   D   
C    C  
 
 
[Chorus]

    
Oh, 
  D             Em                C
what I wouldn’t give to be that small
     D               
To chase the rushing 
Em            C
river to the waterfall
      D             
Oh, what I wouldn’t 
Em                C
give to be that small
          D               
When the Earth begins 
    Em            C
to shake I sway along
 
 
[Bridge]

Em                             
    But you’ve been 
           D
gone for years now
                            
    Did you find a new 
     C              G  D
frontier out there?
Em                    D
    My features are eroding
                       C
    Without someone devoted to me
 
    They just marvel at me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

  D              Em               
They could never hold 
            C
me in their arms
 
 
[Instrumental]

D   Em   
C   C  
 
 
[Chorus]

      
Oh, 
  D             Em                C
what I wouldn’t give to be that small
     D              
To chase the rushing 
Em            C
river to the waterfall
      D             
Oh, what I wouldn’t 
Em                C
give to be that small
          D             
When the Earth begins 
    Em           (C)
to shake I sway along
 
 
[Outro]
