SINGIN CALL- Stephen Stills
TUNING: (or )
Listen to the sound of the night bird singin
I wonder who he calls
My fingers hurt so bad it s got me grinnin
And I wonder can I do it all
Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin river
Looking out for boulders and falls
A woman she watches from the top of the canyon
Hopin we don t drown us all
CHORUS:
Help me now, I got to slow down
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)
