Artist: Demon Hunter Song: I Am A Stone Album: True Defiance (2012) Tabbed by: Nathan Grosse Email: stripeythecrab@gmail.com This is one of the most powerful songs on Demon Hunter's new record, "True Defiance." The chorus is a mantra for resistance, really. Just follow along - the strumming pattern is pretty simple, just listen to the song to pick it up. If you're on an acoustic, it sounds better if you palm mute the chords. Thanks for checking out my tab! ***You can use a normal C chord in place of C/G, but I think that it sounds better the way that I've written it here. The rest is all really easy.*** C/Ge|-0--| (3x555x@1)B|-1--| G|-0--| D|-2--| A|-3--| E|-3--| [Verse 1:] Em (022000@1) C/G (3x555x@1) G (320003@1) DIt's (xx0232@1)hard to say, that I'm back on a straight line, Em (022000@1) C/G (3x555x@1) G (320003@1) DYou (xx0232@1)see my path is in fact, just a fault line.
