![[A Rocks Lament Acoustic.mp3]] **Key**: D minor, **Time signature**: 6/8 **Mood**: Sorrowful, Nostalgic **[Verse 1]** Beneath the moon’s pale silver glow, We tread the paths where shadows grow. A steadfast soul, our shield, our guide, Now rests beyond where stars reside. **[Chorus]** Oh, sturdy heart, unyielding stone, Your strength was more than flesh and bone. In silent might, you faced the fray, But even rocks are worn away. **[Verse 2]** The whispers of the wind now sing, Of battles fought and journeys grim. A voice unsung, a bond unspoken, Yet never was your promise broken. **[Chorus]** Oh, sturdy heart, unyielding stone, Your strength was more than flesh and bone. In silent might, you faced the fray, But even rocks are worn away. **[Bridge]** In every step, your shadow lingers, In every scar, your steady fingers. Though time may grind the mountains low, Your memory will always grow. **[Chorus]** Oh, sturdy heart, unyielding stone, Your strength was more than flesh and bone. In silent might, you faced the fray, But even rocks are worn away. **[Outro]** And so, we walk with heavy tread, With songs of you, though tears are shed. A rock may crack, a stone may fall, But love endures beyond it all. ### How to Play ``` **Chords in the Verse and Chorus** - **Dm** = x-5-7-7-6-5 - **Am** = x-0-2-2-1-0 - **Gm** = 3-5-5-3-3-3 - **A7** = x-0-2-0-2-0 ``` **Intro:** ``` |---1---|---1---|---1---|---1---| |---3---|---3---|---3---|---3---| |---2---|---2---|---2---|---2---| |---0---|---0---|---0---|---0---| |---x---|---x---|---x---|---x---| |---x---|---x---|---x---|---x---| D minor arpeggio ``` #### **[Verse 1]** *(Chords: Dm - Am - Dm - Am)* ``` Dm Am Dm Am e|-------1-----------0---------------1----------------0---------| B|---3-------3-----1-------1-------3-------3-------1-------1-----| G|---2---------------2-----------2---------------2---------------| D|-0-----------------------------0-------------------------------| A|-----------------0-----------------------------0---------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| ``` ``` Dm - Am - Dm - Am Beneath the moon's pale silver glow, Dm - Am - Dm - Am We tread the paths where shadows grow.
