STONES - Sonic Youth
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: SonicYouthRules (that's my nick!)
Email: chapman_li@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard
Great, great song. I know they probably (read 'definitely') do not play this
in Standard tuning but this is perfectly playable in Standard and I think
this is is a good tab of it. If you like, plz give me a rating as this took
me quite a long time to figure out!
Timings are approx - as always, listen to the record

Excellent job! The actual tuning for this is CGDGCD (Low to High), but your rendition sounds pretty damn good. 5-stars from me!
