Turn To Stone Cifras

Joe Walsh - Turn to Stone
Chord/Tab by Scott Billingsley
 
You can hear the record for the timing of the chords -
during the main Intro/Riff, you want to slide from the C to the Bb on the second set of descending chords.

[Verse 1]
F
Hey now, the well run dry
F
Pages of your book on fire
         D5 (Riff 1)
Read the writing
         D5 (Riff 2)
On the wall
 
[Verse 2]
F
Hoe down, it's a show-down
F
Ev'rywhere you look,
       D5 (Riff 1)
we're fighting
         D5 (Riff 2)
Hear the call
 
[Chorus]
F
And you know it's gettin' stronger
G
I can't last very much longer
        Dm > C* > Dm
Turn to stone
 
[Solo] - (Intro chord progression)
 
[Verse 3]
F
Well there's a change in the wind
              F
You know the signs don't lie
F
Such a strange feelin'
      F               D5 (Riff 1)
And I don't know why it's takin'
       D5 (Riff 2)
Such a long time
 
[Verse 4]
F
Backyard people
         F
And they work all day
F
Tired of the speeches and the way
                      D5 (Riff 1)
That the reasons keep changin'
                       D5 (Riff 2)
Just to make the words rhyme
 
[Chorus]
F
And you know it's gettin' stronger
G
Can't make 'em run much longer
        Dm > C* > Dm
Turn to stone
 
[Solo]
(Verse chord progression)
 
[Chorus]
F
And you know it's gettin' stronger
G
Can't make 'em run much longer
        Dm > C* > Dm  >  Dm > C > Dm
Turn to stone
