Caedmon's Call – Suicidal Stones (Guitar)

================================= ================================= Transferred by Asa Gaston Transcripted by T-rev (T-rev.net) aka ‘The Worlds Greatest tabber Intro: D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Dsus4 Tab: (This is the actual strumming patterns; hope it helps)

-2--0--2----3-3--3--  This is the first half of the pair;  I have tried to
-3--0--2----3-3--3--    approximate the timing with spacing between chords.
-2--2--4----0-0--0--  It also sound better if the first G is an upstroke,
-0--2--4----0-0--0--    and the following two G's are downstrokes.
-x--0--2----2-2--2--
-x--x--2----3-3--3--

-2--0--2--2-2----3--  This is the second half of the pair;  again, timing is
-3--0--2--2-2----3--    approximated with spacing between chords.
-2--2--4----4----0--  If you can squeeze in an upstroke of those bottom two 
-0--2--4----4----0--    strings between downstrokes of a Bmsus2, it will 
-x--0--2----2----2--    sound great.
-x--x--2----2----3--

Then the D to Dsus4 is simply strumming, listen to the record (I know... but it is the best way to get it all!) Verse 1: D G D G D G Bm A Bm G A A Chorus: G D G D G D A A Intro is played here: (play pair of rhythms twice, but no D/Dsus4) D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G Verse 2: (Played exactly the same as Verse 1, see above) Chorus (Same as above) Chorus (Same as above) Bridge: (Cliff has no part here... Derek's part is the only one being played; it is below) Chorus (Same as above) Chorus (Same as above) Intro is played here: (play pair of rhythms twice, but no D/Dsus4) D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G ------------------ Derek: Clean guitar, played over Cliff Intro: (These are weird chords, I have tabbed them out below. It took me a good 5 minutes to even figure out a theoretical name for them, which are, btw, correct!) E Esus2 Aug-G#m-sus4 A9 E Esus2 Aug-G#m-sus4 A9 E Esus2 Aug-G#m-sus4 A9 E Esus2 Aug-G#m-sus4 A9 E Esus4 Verse: E Asus2 E Asus2 E Asus2 C#m B C#m Asus2 B B (*Note on verse*: because E and Asus2 are both played on so many open strings, you can get a clearer sound if right as you change chords, you use your (free) pinky finger to mute the strings, almost as if you were using the finger as a bar. E-mail me if you are lost on this.) Chorus: Asus2 E Asus2 E Asus2 E B B Bridge: C#sus2 Bsus2 (*Note on bridge*: This pair is played 8 times underneath Cliff's vocals. To play it as on the record, pick through the chords, do not strum them. A pattern focused on the high 4 strings will serve you best. The 7th and 8th times, quickly strumming the high 4 right as you change, then continuing to pick them will sound best. If you have questions on this, let me know. That's what I'm here for :-) ) The pattern is exactly the same as Cliff's ------------------ Chord Signatures: ------------------ Cliff: (all given relative to capo)
