Sam Roberts - A Stone Would Cry Out

      
 
 Album: Chemical City
 Song: A Stone Would Cry Out
 
 Tabbed by: Bashu Naimi-Roy
 
 I love this song, and nobody has ever posted a tab or chords for it as far as I know
 (there is sheetmusic I believe). So I sat down at my piano and figgered out the chords.
 It should sound fine on guitar, but if you want to do all the neat basslines and fills
 and riffs that he does (good luck) you'll have to do it yourself. Enjoy!
 
 D Daug5 D6, A C#m, B
 
 D                      A        C#m   
 The cinematic after effects of alcohol
 B                     
 Have led me to believe
 D                          A       C#m 
 That there's nothing more beautiful
         B                       
 Than a face as it starts to fade
              D              A          C#m           
 From your memory, what had Once been clear as the day
 B                    
 Obscured by the shade
 
           D            A A#          B F 
 And I was always the thorn to your rose
 
 Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
 A long string of disappointing days
 Led me to concede that I'd been losing sleep
 And I'm tired and frayed at the seams
 And things are changing in me
 It's been two hard months since I could call you my own
 It cuts to the bone
 Is there anything that I can do when I've been turned into stone?
 
            D           A A A#       B  F 
 But I was always the thorn to your rose
 
 D     A          Bm          F   
 Some doors are better left closed
 
 Bm D                     D  
 You move like a rolling wave
 Bm D                            G 
 One that don't fade when it's gone
 G                                       G D              
 Beyond a doubt it gets so hard that a stone would cry out
 
 D A A A# B 
      
 Verse 3(same as verse 1):
 I know there's a lesson in here
 But it's so hard to find
 I've been searching my mind
 A little pearl of wisdom for the later years
 When the thread of this life starts to unwind
 I never had to fight for my love
 But that's over I know
 It's just how it goes
 I never had to fight for my love
 But that's over I know
 It's just how it goes
 
 Bm D                         D  
 And you move like a rolling wave
 Bm D                            G 
 One that don't fade when it's gone
 G                                   G          
 Beyond a doubt it gets so hard, it gets so hard
 G D                       
 That a stone would cry out
 
 D      A        Bm          G    
 Some doors are better left closed
 
       D         Bb           F                  G     
 Some say this place makes it hard to hold your head up
       D         Bb           F                  G      
 Some days this face makes me feel like I've been set up
