‘Beneath the Granite Sky’

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
[G]Underneath the granite sky, [D]in the heart of Grafton town,
[C]There’s a song that’s being sung, [G]a melody profound.
[G]Echoing through fields and hills, [D]across the break of dawn,
[C]It’s the rhythm of our heartbeats, [G]the tune we’re playing on.

Chorus:
[C]Beneath the granite sky, [G]we sing our dreams aloud,
[D]With every chord and lyric, [G]we make our hometown proud.
[C]Underneath the stars at night, [G]we serenade the moon,
[D]With music that will echo, [G]beyond the afternoon.

Verse 2:
[G]Through the winters and the springs, [D]underneath the autumn glow,
[C]We’ve been spinning our stories, [G]as the river continues to flow.
[G]In the heart of this small town, [D]we’ve found our perfect rhyme,
[C]In the rhythm of the seasons, [G]in the melody of time.
