SINGIN' CALL- Stephen Stills TUNING: D5 A5 D5 D5 A5 D5 (or E5 B5 E5 E5 B5 E5 ) E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 Listen to the sound of the night bird singin' E5 E5 I wonder who he calls E5 E5 My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin' E5 E5 And I wonder can I do it all E5 E5 Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river E5 E5 Looking out for boulders and falls E5 E5 A woman she watches from the top of the canyon E5 E5 Hopin' we don't drown us all CHORUS: B5 A5 Help me now, I got to slow down B5 E5 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 GENERAL PICKING PATTERN: E -------------------------------------------------- | B -10----------10-----------0(b9)---------0(b9)--------- | E -------12-----------(rpt)-------12----------(rpt)- | E ----00----------00-----------00----------00------- | B -------------------------------------------------- | E -00-------00--------------00-------00------------- | CHORDS: E5 E5 B5 A5 E -12- -12- --0- --0- | B -10- --(b9) --0- --0- | E -12- -12- --0- --0- | E --0- --0- --7- --5- | E --0- --0- --7- --5- | E --0- --0- --7- --5- | 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.
