Singin Call

Stephen Stills

 Esus2E
 Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'
 Esus2E
wonder who he calls
 Esus2E
My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin'
 Esus2E
And I wonder can I do it all
 Esus2E
 Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river
 Esus2E
 Looking out for boulders and falls
 Esus2E
 A woman she watches from the top of the canyon
 Esus2E
 Hopin' we don't drown us all

CHORUS:
 Bsus4Asus4
 Help me now, I got to slow down
 Bsus4Esus2
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.

(from Stephen Stills 2, 1971)
