Rodriguez - The Music

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.

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.
