Suicidal Stones———Caedmon's Call
=================================
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:

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
