Tab Mapper
Tab or chord file URL:

The tab mapper is a handy little tool that will render a guitar tab file with graphic chord diagrams displayed alongside. This comes in handy for people who just don't have every single chord shape memorized. Just plug in the web site address of a valid .tab or .crd file and hit "Go". In general, the tab mapper does a better job with printer friendly URLs. If there is more than one way to play a chord, the tab mapper will choose the most common shape. To see other fingerings, click on the chord diagram and you will be taken to the chord calculator.

D chord {x x 0 2 3 2}
F chord {1 3 3 2 1 1}
A chord {x 0 2 2 2 0}
Dsus2 chord {x x 0 2 3 0}
C chord {x 3 2 0 1 0}
Am chord {x 0 2 2 1 0}

The actual finger picking for this song isn't hard to figure out.
There are a few hammer-ons and pull offs around the Am and C chords.

And for the "Come on, Stone.." part there is a hint of D Major, so what 
I do is very discretely play a few D Major chords every so often. But its
up to you.

Dsus2     Am      
I call ye cabin neighbors

F        C
I call you once my friends

Dsus2     Am
But I trust when you labor

    F        C
And put my head to rest



Dsus2        Am
But I was on the hatch

F            C
I was on the avalanche

Dsus2        Am
And I had found my match

F            C
I was on the floor




Dsus2        Am
I took a train from Virginia

F            C
To Illinois, my home

Dsus2      Am
He said .I knew you had it in ya"

F         C
A mind to make its own



Dsus2        Am
But I was on the hatch

F         C
Riding on the avalanche

Dsus2         Am
I tried to take it back

F          C
I was on the floor


Dsus2
Come on, Stone!
Come on, Star!
Come on, Snow!
Come on, Car!
Come on, Hands!
Come on, Feet!
Come on, Face!
Come on, Street!
Come on, State!
Come on, Song!
Move it fast! (Take it up)
Move it along! (The Ohio River)
Come on, Life! (Take it up)
Come on, Lord! (Take it over)
Make it right! (To the Mississippi)
Make it Yours!
