Joe Walsh - Turn to Stone

during the main Intro/Riff, you want to slide from the C to the B? on the second set of descending chords.

^Slide down from C to B? here
[Verse 1]
F
Hey now, the well run dry
Pages of your book on fire
D (Riff 1)
Read the writing
D (Riff 2)
On the wall
[Verse 2]
F
Hoe down, it's a show-down
Ev'rywhere you look,
D (Riff 1)
we're fighting
D (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)
F
Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feelin'
D (Riff 1)
And I don't know why it's takin'
D (Riff 2)
Such a long time
F
Backyard people
And they work all day
Tired of the speeches and the way
D (Riff 1)
That the reasons keep changin'
D (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
Outro Solo - (Intro chord progression repeated)
