Intro Am C G G

[Verse 1:]

Am                 C          G                      G
   I lift up the stone and I put it in place it was meant to go there

Am                         C                 G                G
   All shapes and   sizes flash   before my eyes.

Am                  C                G                  G
   and here is the wall...     the wall that I built steadily growing

Am                           C                  G             G
   a structure   that will stand   the test of time..


[Chorus]


F             C             Asus4
  I  build a wall around my home

F               C            Asus4
  It keeps out enemies  and friends


[Verse 2]


Am              C              G                    G
  I stop for a moment and the rain it is sweeping across this great land

Am                              C                 G                  G
  and I look out   through the mist   up to the hills

Am              C             G                      G
  a figure is lurking, he is watching me carefully, sees every move but I

Am                    C               G                   G
   won't be   put off by    what he means


[Chorus]


F             C             Asus4
  I  build a wall around my home

F              C            Asus4
  It keeps out enemies  and friends

F             C             Asus4


F             C             Asus4



[Verse 3]

 
Am                      C                G                          G
  These hands they are weathered by the wind and the rain and the stone and the earth

Am                       C                  G                    G
  that lies inside the valleys   where I'm from

Am           C             G                  G
  When I am gone    this wall will remain to mark out the land that is 

Am                    C              G                    G
  owned by   no-one  no-one in the end


[Chorus]


F             C             Asus4
  I  build a wall around my home

F              C            Asus4
  It keeps out enemies  and friends

F             C             Asus4


F             C             Asus4


[Verse 4]


Am                     C              G                             G
   Death comes to the valley and he carries strange tools that are used for destruction

Am                       C              G                  G
   and breaking of the spirits of this land

Am                   C          G                           G
   Bury me near the wall   the wall that I built with dry stone and of rubble

Am                      C                 G                  G
   that sits well in a landscape lost in time



[Chorus]


F             C             Asus4
  I  build a wall around my heart

F               C            Asus4
  It keeps out enemies  and friends


F             C             Asus4
  I  build a wall around my heart

F              C           Asus4 Am Asus4
  It keeps out enemies    and friends--
