Heart of Stone Lyrics

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
D (Eb) = xx0232
This heart of stone, sure is missing you,
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs.
This heart of stone has not forgotten you,
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong.
Memories have made its will grow tired and weak,
Silently, it turned from being bold to meek.
'Til finally, it gave into a sad defeat,
Aching more and more with every fragile beat.
This heart of stone, sure is missing you,
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs.
This heart of stone has not forgotten you,
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong.
INSTRUMENTAL
Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride,
Leaving a just an empty well here behind.
Without a hope of any way it could survive,
Stranded there alone and simply left to die.
This heart of stone, sure is missing you,
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs.
This heart of stone has not forgotten you,
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong.
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong.
