Suicidal Stones
Caedmon's Call

Preview (partial song; no chords displayed)

Song Title: "Suicidal Stones"
Group: Caedmon's Call
Album: "My Calm//Your Storm"
There are two parts to this song:
Derek -> Clean (Key of E; again, this puts Cliff's part in D)
I will transcribe Cliff's part (which is the melody throughout most of
the song) first. Derek's will follow at the end, and corresponds directly
with Cliff's, except for the bridge, which I will explain in detail. All
the chord changes are at the same time. Again, since so much of this style
is rhythm, I highly recommend listening to the record (over and over and
over...). All chords are above the ~approximate~ lyric sung at that point.
Again, listen to the record, it will become very clear.
A->B, etc)
----------------
This part is _very_ fast, and will take a bit of practice. If you listen
closely, you will also notice that there is a pair that is repeated twice,
with the rhythm of the first half of the pair ~slightly~ different than the
second. I will try to show you how to play this exactly as on the record:
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!)
D
Outside the city walls
G
Alone with what I've known
D
Like a criminal who sly-thieves joy
G
From his own home
D G
Bm A
Some just line says I should die by fire
Bm
So I'm cutting up the kindling
G A A
And the kerosene I cry




G D
Take these suicidal stones from my hand
G D
Suicidal Stones from my hand
G D
Suicidal Stones from my hand

A A
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
D Asus2 Bm-sus2 G
