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
