Guitar Chords

These songs have been transcribed and supplied by various people and a big thank you to all of them. Rodriguez had a very tattered Cold Fact songbook with him on the 1998 SA tour. I couldn't get to scan or photocopy it, but I did get to touch it!

Cold Fact Music Book
I first heard Cold fact in the early eighties. I was in my late teens and a member or the Young Socialists. The music was cool and the lyrics hit home. I grew up in the inner city of Sydney, Australia. I was learning to play guitar. I went out and bought the sheet music in a book format for the whole Cold Fact album. I still have it. The pages are white with blue print. I still love to play his music.

The sheet music is titled "Rodriguez Cold Fact".
Here is some info from the book.
This book was compiled and produced by David Hayes for and on behalf of United Artists Music(Aust.) Pty. Ltd. Music arrangements by Ivor Davies. Engraving by Harmony Music Copy Services Sydney. Cover artwork by kind permission of Blue Goose Music Pty. Ltd. and Seven Records. Inside artwork by Sue Rooke. Booth Printing Australia. Sole selling agents: Festival Music Pty. Ltd.

I dont know if this is the catalogue number but it has "F 820" on the back cover. The cover is the same as the album cover except it has a white background.
-- Warren, Australia, June 1999.
