Tuning: DADGBE (dropped D)
Capo: 2nd Fret

Stone Monkey is a fantastic bluesy little number and great fun to play. I tabbed the intro, the
first verse and the instrumental break before he starts the second verse. My advice though would
be to play it freely, as that's certainly what Bert does in this live version. Play around with it!
The LA Turnaround studio version is very similar but includes a full band. It's all in 4/4 timing
and there's nothing really to watch for except maybe the stretch in the chorus. Have fun! :o)

Rhythm: 4/4
