This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

DO FOR THE OTHERS- Stephen Stills

INTRO

G(no3) G7sus4 Fsus2 C/E C G(no3)

Round, round, up and down, all along the lonely town

G(no3) G7sus4 Fsus2 C/E C G(no3)

See him sinkin' low, doesn't see the joy there is to know

CHORUS:

F/G C/G G(no3)

And he cries from the misery

F/G C/G G(no3)

And he lies, singin' harmony

C/G G(no3)

She is gone, there is no tomorrow

C/G G(no3) Fsus4 C G(no3)

It is done, so now he must borrow the life of his brothers

Fsus2 C G C/G G(no3)

And living in sorrow must do for the others

BRIDGE (strum):

Cmaj7/G G(no3) Cmaj7/G G(no3) D C C/G G

Oooh------- ooooh------

A chill wind hits his face, was that a tear? I thought I saw a trace

Loving people everywhere, where is she? She is not there

CHORUS, BRIDGE
