The Incredible String Band - 'The Iron Stone' (cover)

[larrbeez]

never thought it possible to cover this.. ! for robin it was make it up as you go along.... well done... !! LIKE...

Very nicely done - great work! It's always a challenge to try anything by Robin Williamson, but you've certainly made it your own.

@nlows420 Thanks I already figured out the others but what about the iron stone whats the tuning?

[butterybiscuits67]

@nlows420 I found a link to Jay Ansilll's ISB tabs but it would not open. Damn I was so down to learn this song too..I've just figured out part of 'the half remarkable question' and wanted to learn this song and 'witches hat' next but the tunings and chords are so hard to find sometimes. Any chance you can send me the tabs if you still have them? Beautiful cover btw

@butterybiscuits67 Hello friend. I noticed a few weeks back that the page that holds Jay's tabs no longer opens... Such a shame because he had really tabbed some doozies! Went to play me some 'Yellow Snake' and was quite disappointed. Unfortunately, I can't help you with any of the tabs, as I didn't have any of them saved. I can offer some advice though. 'Half-Remarkable Question' is in Open C (CGCGCE), and is pretty easy to figure out once you know the tuning.

@nlows420 That's the basic gist of it... Just gotta fill in the melody Robin style and you've got it. xx0067 and xx0007 are also key.

@butterybiscuits67 As far as I can tell 'Witches Hat' is in standard tuning. You can find the chords easily enough as they're part of the giant ISB chord file that seems to be all over the web.

@butterybiscuits67 Finally found a copy of the tab buried in deep inside a giant binder I've got... Tuning on this one is EAAEAD capo on 5. I've only got a paper copy of the tab so I have no way to send it off... Plus I figured out everything after 'Love paints the cart' on my own and never wrote it down. Key chords are xx0002, xx0231, xx543, xx2022 and xx707(10) or (9). Also try xx202xx, xx303xx up to 5 and then 7 for the 'among the stones' bit. Hope that helps a little.

I still love this version. Another under-rated video. Mind if i leave a link for my own ISB cover plz? - 'Way Back in The 1960s'

[nlows420]

[maisquisuije]

[nlows420]

No sorry man... Can't say that I do.

Nice cover! Do you have any idea about the tab/chords for "Maybe Someday"?
