CROSSING OVER
Crossing Over is a fairly easy tune to play; I haven't tried to figure it
note-for-note exactly but the following will suffice for jamming with the
CD. It's in the key of F until the harmonizing guitars come in at the
end, if that helps.
The beginning sequence has tapped harmonics (at the octave) for the
following chords:
E Dm5 Dsus2 5 C3 Csus2 3
B 6 5 5 3
G 7 7 5 5
D 7 7 5 5
A 5 5 3 3
E x x x x
The next part is similar to the beginning of Black and Blue (the fingering):
E Cx Fx Cx Ex Dx Dsus2 5
B x x x x x 5
G 5 10 5 9 7 7
D x x x x x 7
A 3 8 3 7 5 5
E x x x x x x
E Dx Fx Gx Ax Gx Csus2 3
B x x x x x 3
G 7 10 12 14 12 5
D x x x x x 5
A 5 8 10 12 10 3
E x x x x x x
Play the C, F, C, E, D, Dsus2
again, and then play D, F, Bb, A, G,
Csus2.
Verses:
Play a muted Dm, Dsus2, C, and Csus2. With the single ascending note on
the B string.
Chorus:
An F and A arpeggiated thing:
E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
B ---------------------------------------------------------------|
G ----0----2-3-2------0----2-3-------0----2-3-2------0----2-3-2--|
D -------3---------------3-----2--------2---------------2--------|
A -3----------------3----------0---0---------------0-------------|
E ---------------------------------------------------------------|
And - my favorite part - one of the 'screams' at the end is a harmonic on
the G-string at about 2.2 frets.
Hope it is clear.
