SINGIN' CALL- Stephen Stills
TUNING: D A D D A D (or E B E E B E)
Esus2 E Esus2 E
Esus2 E
Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'
Esus2 E
I wonder who he calls
Esus2 E
My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin'
Esus2 E
And I wonder can I do it all
Esus2 E
Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river
Esus2 E
Looking out for boulders and falls
Esus2 E
A woman she watches from the top of the canyon
Esus2 E
Hopin' we don't drown us all
CHORUS:
Bsus4 Asus4
Help me now, I got to slow down
Bsus4 Esus2
Hear my singin' call
Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert
Threw a shoe and took a bad fall
Long for the peace that the ancients bring me
Murmur of the lowlands shut my jaw
CHORUS
Everyone knows there's a price for the askin'
Some people buy themselves a doll
Help me sweet Jesus
I'm weary from the journey
I need to tell my brothers what I saw
CHORUS

NOTE: On the picking pattern, any given second string note can be
replaced by a first string note. It is the sequence of first string
notes that makes this picking pattern challenging and interesting.
Listen to the record closely to hear this- the first string note is
relatively easy to pick out.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STEPHEN STILLS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
