Stone Cold Yesterday

From: * (Lynnette Noblitt (MC 1995))

Words & Music by Mike Connell

Transcribed by Tom Parker

This version is meant for one 
guitar.  On the album, Mike Connell 
(Gtr. 1)
plays straight chords, while George 
Huntley (Gtr. 2 & 3) provides some
tasty fills and a nice simple solo. 
 I'll tab fills for Gtr. 2 later....

This song is most easily played w/ a
 capo on 2nd fret for Gtr. 1.  All
tabs (except for solo) are for 
fingerings w/ capo. So what's 
written
as "A" sounds as a "B" chord, and so
 forth.

And I walk
And I breathe
And I try, no, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man

Changed her, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man
