SINGIN' CALL- Stephen Stills

TUNING:

D (or

E)

Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'

I wonder who he calls

My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin'

And I wonder can I do it all

Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river

Looking out for boulders and falls

A woman she watches from the top of the canyon

Hopin' we don't drown us all

CHORUS:

Help me now, I got to slow down

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

E -------12-----------(rpt)-------12----------(rpt)-|

CHORDS:

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.

(from Stephen Stills 2, 1971)
