Stone Temple Pilots - About a Fool
Bonus track on STP (2010 album) foreign releases
Standard Tuning
Tabbed by jjhand

This song is very smooth jazz/ bossa nova inspired, so its not like their 
hard rocking hits from the first couple albums. The chords used will take
a while to get used to (not many major chords). Please rate/comment!

Look on youtube for this song if you can't find it. Its an outtake 
from the "Shangri-La Dee Da" sessions I believe.
