Stone Cold Yesterday Lyrics

TAB: Stone Cold Yesterday - The Connells
Words & Music by Mike Connell
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.
OPENING (RIFF #1)
Maj7
G---2-- --2---4---4---2- -2--- --2---4--4---2-- repeat 4 times
(Straight chords through the verse)
I want a word with you
'Bout your average Jimmy
He told me things that I
Guess I never knew
He was a bad dancer
Till he learned to shimmy
He was adrift till the
World came into view
(RIFF #1 2 times)
He had an old standby
Not your average Betty
She showed me things that I
Guess I always knew
She was a slow burner
'Till the work got steady
She wasn't found 'till the
Early afternoon
(PRE-CHORUS) ------> (Note: Bass plays G#-A)
Hey, get me out of this some way
I wouldn't feel so inhibited
Gotta get me out of this some way
I want to see
D D Dmaj7 D6 D5 (like end of Riff #1)
What it is they see
(CHORUS)
Stone cold yesterday
Changed her, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man
Stone cold yesterday
Changed her, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man

(PRECHORUS)
Hey, get me out of this some way
I wouldn't feel so inhibited
Gotta get me out of this some way
I want to see
What it is they see
(CHORUS)
Stone cold yesterday
Changed her, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man
Stone cold yesterday
Changed her, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man
(CHORUS-OUTRO)
And I walk
And I breathe
And I try, no, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man
Stone cold yesterday
Changed her, it didn't change me
Don't it make you wonder, man
RIFF #1 2 times - end on A5 chord
