Gimme A Stone

Album: Chinese Work Songs

Note: This tab is really good, but 
it is flatpicked
so there are many more notes I 
didn’t include.
I only used the chord strums and the
 melody.


Capo 2


This song is really easier, fun, and
 deceptively repetitive.
In this song there is a chord strum 
and
then the melody is played on the 
higher strings.
This is a simplified but still right
 version.

Verse:
F       C       G       Am
F       C       G       G
F       C       G       Am
F       C       G       C

Chorus follows same chords as intro 
and is pretty much the same thing

More Notes:
-All measures are same length (4/4)
- First three bars of each intro 
line can be played at the
beginning of each verse line because
 the chords are the same
- song is flatpicked but a finger 
pick it
- chords are relative to capo
