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.
