Monterrey Honey (Cotton Mather cover)
I heard Nicole Atkins performing this at Johnny Brendas in Philadelphia. 
It was a fantastic night... The concert was sold out and I was stuck in the
rain until Irina Yalkowsky stepped outside to have a smoke... Nicole's 
version is just beautiful and I was surprised that there were no tabs for this song. 
I don't usually do this so I am sure this version is full of mistakes but you should 
get the idea... besides I refuse to try to transcribe anything else that was 
performed that night - 
Irina is just too good of a guitar player for me to attempt that!
Cheers,
Victor Schinazi

Monterrey Honey (Cotton Mather cover)

I heard Nicole Atkins performing this at Johnny Brendas in Philadelphia.

It was a fantastic night... The concert was sold out and I was stuck in the

rain until Irina Yalkowsky stepped outside to have a smoke... Nicole's

version is just beautiful and I was surprised that there were no tabs for this song.

I don't usually do this so I am sure this version is full of mistakes but you should

get the idea... besides I refuse to try to transcribe anything else that was

performed that night -

Irina is just too good of a guitar player for me to attempt that!

Cheers,
