Chords

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. Feel free to hit me up for any questions. ([email protected]) 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 ******* Ani Difranco - Studying Stones INTRO: Melody: C v G ^ B v F ^ A Chords: Cm6 // GM6/4 // FM ~~~ Melody: C v G ^ B v F ^ A V G V ~F~ Chords: cm6 // GM64 // FM // ~~~ cm -- BbM -- AbM AbM -- BbM -- cm(add9) (x 2) ~~~ VERSES:
     Cm
I am out here studying stones

           Bb
Trying to learn to be less alive

       Ab
Using all of my will

       Bb
To keep very still

       Cm           Cm (add9)
Still even on the inside

          Cm
I've cut all of the pertinent wires

      Bb
So my eyes can't make that connection

     Ab
I am holding my breath

     Bb
I am feigning my death

     Cm                  Cm(add9)
When I'm looking in your direction
~~~
        EbM
'Course numb is an old hat

          DbM
Old as my oldest memories

    Ab
See that one's my mother

    Bb
And that one's my father

         Cm                    Cm(add9)
And that one in the hat, that's me

       EbM
It's a 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
~~~
              Cm                  Cm(add9)
There's never been an endeavor so strange

              Bb
As trying to slow the blood in my veins

   Ab
To keep my face blank

     Bb
As a stone that just sank

      Cm             Cm(add9)
Until not a ripple remains

     Cm                  Cm(add9)
I am high above the tree line

        Bb
Sitting cross legged on the ground

     Ab
When all of the forbidden fruit

    Bb
has fallen and rotted

Cm                    Cm(add9)
That's when I'm gonna come down
~~~
        EbM
'Course numb is an old hat

          DbM
Old as my oldest memories

    Ab
See that one's my mother

    Bb
And that one's my father

         Cm                    Cm(add9)
And that one in the hat, that's me

       EbM
It's a 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
