Chord/Tab song: 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

D (Eb) xx0232




This heart of [F]stone, sure is [C]missing you,
Sure is [G]wishing you were back where love be[C]longs.
This heart of [F]stone has not for[C]gotten you,
But broke while [G]trying to pretend that it was [C]strong.


[G]Memories have made its will grow [C]tired and weak,
[G]Silently, it turned from being [C]bold to meek.[C7]
[F]'Til finally, it gave into a [C]sad defeat,
[D]Aching more and more with every[G] fragile beat.


This heart of [F]stone, sure is [C]missing you,

[F]INS[C]TRU[G]MEN[C]TAL


[G]Loneliness has slowly stripped it [C]of its pride,
[G]Leaving a just an empty well [C]here behind.[C7]
[F]Without a hope of any way it [C]could survive,
[D]Stranded there alone and simply [G]left to die.
