Heart of Stone
Dwight Yoakam - Heart Of Stone
Play this with a capo on 1st fret.
All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.
Real chord names are in square brackets below.
You should really detune your guitar a half-step to play this song,
but playing it this way is quicker for me to tab.
F (F#) = 133211 C (Db) = x32010
G (Ab) = 320003 C7 (Db7) = x32310
