In The Beginning Tab by Stills


Incredible song off the stills new album Without Feathers. This is my first tab, and it 
sounds good to me, just bear with it and listen to the song.

Verse
G                            C Bm Am Bm
This story ends in bloodshed

G                                  C Bm Am Bm
The face I love, The city I'm from

G                                               C Bm Am Bm
The persons I've met, The persons I've let down
G                              C Bm Am Bm
But a hero never turns, around


Pre-chorus (use correct picking rhythm)
C                                 G C G
It's nice to see you're moving on

C                            G C G
I know it's hard to carry on

C                           G C G
It's just never what it was

C  Bm   D

In the Beginning.....

(Then back to that riff)
This time through that riff you will hear:
e-|-----------------------|
B-|-10~-------------------|
G-|-12~-------------------|
D-|-----------------------|
A-|-----------------------|
E-|-----------------------|


Chorus is the same except with guitar 2 play this:
e-|--------10--------10------------|
B-|---10h12--10-10h12---12---------|
G-|-12--------------------12b~-----|
D-|--------------------------------|
A-|--------------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------|

In a ball of fire and, stars and sun

e-|-----------------------|
B-|-10-1010-1010-10/12----|
G-|-12-1212-1212----------|
D-|-----------------------|
A-|-----------------------|
E-|-----------------------|

That brings me here now, and my heart's caving in

Pre-chorus and then

Bridge(actually not on guitar, but these are the chords)

Em D C Bm Am G Am G

Then all other instruments come into the song again, and bass and/or guitar does this:
e-|----------------------------------|
B-|----------------------------------|
G-|----------------------------------|
D-|-2--------------------------------|
A-|--5-3-2---------------------------|
E-|-------2--------------------------|

e-|----------------------------------|
B-|----------------------------------|
G-|----------------------------------|
D-|----------------------------------|
A-|-3-2---2--------------------------|
E-|-----5---3------------------------|

Another guitar eventually plays open G and C chords along with this bass/guitar line

End on G
