*NOTE for part iii.:
+within the parallel fingering, when you see a capitalised
finger letter, this indicates that this finger is being used
for muting (x's in the matching tab).  i've only used this
in the part iii section and it occurs only with the middle
finger (M's) with the exeption of the one "-I-" in part iii's
substiute section where the index finger is holding a note
on the 8th fret while laying over the a-string, muting it.

+"--(M)--" on the a-string.  this could have also
looked like "--(O)--".  basically, if you look at the parallel
tab, you'll see that there is the option of either hitting the
a-string open "--(0)--" or (what should be assumed) continuing
to mute it.  the "--(M)--" is just relaying this option.
 (hint: this is extreme over-explanation.  you're smart.
        i'm sure you figured this whole thing out before you
        even read the note.)





the song.

part i. repeats over and over for the intro.  during the
verses, the progression goes from part i. to part ii. then
repeats.  part iii. is used for the chorus.  the part iii
substition is basically what dave was playing on "listener
supported" while the rest of the band did the mellow jam thing.
part iv. is the heavy riff during "i'll go a long way..." as
well the ending of the song.  NOTE: for the ending, dave
often (always?) plays this part at the same rhythm used earlier
in the song, then double-times it for a few repetitiions, then
ends with the regular rhythm, each note struck with definition
and force.  maybe you wanna do this, too...





-the stone-

[intro] (part i.)

--(part i.-part ii.)
i've this creeping
suspicion that things here are not as they seem
oh, reassure me
why do i feel as if i'm in too deep?
yes i've been praying
for some way to show them i'm not what they see
yes i have done wrong
but what i did i thot needed be done
i swear

--(part i.)

--(part i.-part ii.)
oh unholy day
if i leave now i mite get away
oh but this ways on me
as heavy as stone and a bone-chilling cold
now i'm just...

--(part iii.)
...wond'ring if you'll come along
hold up my head when my head won't hold on
i'll do the same if the same's what you want
but if not i'll...

--(part iv.)
...go
i'll go a...

--(part i.-part ii.)
...long way
to bury the past for i don't want to pay
and how i wish this
to turn back the clock and do all over again
now i'm just...

--(part iii.)
...wond'ring if you'll come along
hold up my head when my head won't hold on
i'll do the same if the same's what you want
but if not i'll...

--(part iv.)
...go
i'll go a...

--(part i.-part ii.)
...long way
oooh, from that fool's mistake
and i'll forever pay
oh, run i will run and i'll be okay
but now i'm just...

--(part iii.)
...wond'ring if you'll come along
hold up my head when my head won't hold on
i'll do the same if the same's what you want
but if not i'll...

--(part iv.)
...go
i'll go a-...

(part i.)
...-long


(part i.-part ii.)
oh i need so
to stay in your arms, see your smile, hold you close
but now it ways on me
as heavy as stone and as blue as i go
now i'm just...

(part iii.) [same guitar with slowed singing]
...wond'ring if you'll come aaalong
tell...me...you...will

oh, out of this, out of this, out of this, oh well
oh, let it all fall down
let it all fall down
let it all fall down, oh

wise men say
only fools rush in
but i can't help
falling in love with (you)


[ending] (part iv.)
