Note:  I taped this song from the radio and had to re-tune my guitar
to the song.  So this is not in standard tuning.

STEPPING STONE   Lari White
           G  Am  Em  G
Stepping stone
G              Am               Em            D
Here I am at another dead end  Stopped in my tracks again
G                 Bm            D            G
Closer then I've ever been to where I wanna be
G                Am                 Em               D
A broken heart standing in my way  Big as life on a real bad day
G                     Bm      Am                  D  
Making lemons into lemonade  Ain't nothing new to me No

CHORUS:
G               C              Em              D
This ain't no stumbling block  It's just a stepping stone
G                 C
I'm gonna climb right up on top
            Em           D
and take a good look at where I'm going
G                    C
And it ain't gonna slow me down, 
Am                 C       D  
Hold me back, or turn me around (Stepping Stone)
C                G      
This ain't no stumbing block (Stepping Stone)
C             G
It ain't no stumbling block (Stepping Stone)
C              G               C                D     G    C Em D
This ain't no stumbling block  It's just a stepping stone


G                    Am          Em             D  
Now looking back I realize  How hard it is to recognize
G                Bm       D                G
Opportunity in disguise  That's some Calm-ady
G                Am           Em                D 
So I aint gonna cuss my luck Everytime a door slams shut
G                        Bm              Am             D
I know a window's gonna open up Just as long as I beli-eve.

G                 C

and take a good look at where I'm going
G                   C
And it ain't gonna slow me down,
