Studying Stones  Ani DiFranco

Hey, all. This is my first tab, but I'm a music student who plays a lot of stuff by ear,
I think it'll be decent. -- I was really frustrated to find that NO ONE had posted any
or chords of this song, so I sat down and did it myself. It's not exact, but it'll get
really, really close.
Enjoy!
v = the next note is lower
^ = the next note is higher
~ = trill
m = minor
M = major
6 = first inversion; third of the chord in the bass
6/4 = second inversion; fifth of the chord in the bass

VERSES:
I am [Cm]out here studying stones
Trying to l[Bb]earn to be less alive
Using a[Ab]ll of my will
To keep[Bb] very still
Still e[Cm]ven on the in[Cm]sid[(add9)]e
I've cut a[Cm]ll of the pertinent wires
So my [Bb]eyes can't make that connection
I am [Ab]holding my breath
I am [Bb]feigning my death
When [Cm]I'm looking in your [Cm(add9)]direction
~~~
'Course [Ebm]numb is an old hat
Old as my [C#m]oldest memories
See [Ab]that one's my mother
And [Bb]that one's my father
And that [Cm]one in the hat, that's[Cm(add9)] me
It's a [Ebm]skill I'd hoped to abandon
Bb?
When I got out on the open road
Fm?
But any more pent up emotion
Bb? Cm(add9)
And I think I'm gonna explode
~~~
There's never [Cm]been an endeavor so [Cm(add9)]strange
As trying to s[Bb]low the blood in my veins
To [Ab]keep my face blank
As a [Bb]stone that just sank
Until [Cm]not a ripple re[Cm(add9)]mains
I am [Cm]high above the tree [Cm(add9)]line
Sitting [Bb]cross legged on the ground
When [Ab]all of the forbidden fruit
has [Bb]fallen and rotted
[Cm]That's when I'm gonna [Cm(add9)]come down
~~~
'Course [Ebm]numb is an old hat
Old as my [C#m]oldest memories
See [Ab]that one's my mother
And [Bb]that one's my father
And that [Cm]one in the hat, that's[Cm(add9)] me
It's a [Ebm]skill I'd hoped to abandon
Bb?
When I got out on the open road
Fm?
But any more pent up emotion
Bb? Cm(add9)
And I think I'm gonna explode
END ON:
[Cm(add9)]
