Chorus:
      C             F         C  F
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone,
(sing it brother)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone

G         C
You're a builder, baby
F              C
Here I am, a stone
G                      C
Don't you think and refuse me
            F
Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
        G
Do you hear me? Hear what I say

Chorus:
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone, (tell me why)
The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone

Here I am baby
I'm a builder's stone
Don't you think and refuse me, listen
The things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you hear me? Hear what I say

Chorus:
(The stone that the builder refuse
Will always be the head cornerstone) - x2
The stone that the builder refuse
(I can be soft as a pillow)
Will always be the head cornerstone
(weep like a willow)
The stone that the builder refuse
(courage)
Will always be the head cornerstone
(brings happiness, don't refuse me)
The stone that the builder refuse
(don't you refuse)
Will always be the head cornerstone
(don't you, don't you, don't you)
