Chip Away the StoneAerosmith

Songwriter: Richard Supa

[Verse 1]
Well you're acting like a prima donna
Playing so hard to get
Acting so cool and nonchalant
Dragging on a cigarette
You keep a wall all around you
I'll get through some day
I want your love babe, but push don't shove
Going to chip that stone away

[Chorus]
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm going to do
Sweet little mama I want to get next to you

[Verse 2]
Well you stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer I must, I'm going to get through your crust
Going to chip that stone away

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
And I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm going to do
Sweet little mama I want to get next to you
Oooh...yes I do

[Bridge]
Chip away[x2]
At the stone
Chip away[x2]
At the stone


[Outro]
I won't stop[x10]
Won't stop

Aerosmith

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
