                            Carved In Sandstone 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo

[Chords]
 
C:
Alternate the "standard" C chord fingering (x32010) with an additional G on the 
high E string using
your pinky (x32013). Especially the last C chord in the chorus is always x32013.
 
G/B:
You might as well play a standard G fingering here, but if you want to follow the
 bass note as a transition
from Am to C, there are two options to play it fluently:
 
x2000x: Coming from the standard Am fingering, only move your middle finger to 
the A string and pull off
the other fingers.
 
x20003: This is like treating this transition note as a full chord (standard G 
fingering minus the middle
finger on the low E string).

We carved our names in sandstone under the cross that looks down at the city
F         G                 C  C G
