I’ve never seen this posted – nor have I seen it in ftp.nevada…

Too make a story short, I want to play this tune in my “band” and I would

like some opinions on how other people might play it… anyway here’s what

I have now:

Beast Of Burden The Rolling Stones

—2-/-4–4——7—4———-5
—3-/-5–5——7—5———-5
—2-/-4–4——8—6———-6
—————–9——-5-/-7—

That’s the most important part of the song – the chorus is just standard

straight up chords (I think) but I can’t remember them at the moment.

What I need help on is that the above doesn’t sound thick enough – a bit too

plain. Anyone play it differently?

Also, as a method for playing in a band with one guitarist, would you just

keep playing the riff over and over instead of soloing off in the song –

since I can’t do both at the same time, and since I am not that good, I’d

think to play what the audience knows best: the above riff.

Comments and suggestions are very welcome.

Scott

Enjoy,

The Rolling Stones

Beast Of Burden

[B/D#]  

I’ll never be your beast of burden

[B/D#]  

My back is broad but it’s a hurting

[B/D#]  

All I want is for you to make love to me

[B/D#]  

I’ll never be your beast of burden

[B/D#]  

I’ve walked for miles, my feet are hurting

[B/D#] [B/D#]  

All I want is for you to make love to me

[E/G#]  

Am I hard enough Am I rough enough Am I rich enough

[E/G#]  

I’m not too blind to see

[B/D#]  

I’ll never be your beast of burden

[B/D#]  

So let’s go home and draw the curtains

[E/D#]  

Music on the radio

[B/D#]  

Come on baby, make sweet love to me

[E/G#]  

Am I hard enough Am I rough enough Am I rich enough

[E/G#]  

I’m not too blind to see…oh little sister

[E/D#]  

Pretty, pretty, pretty girl

[B/D#] [B/D#] [B/D#]  

You’re such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl

Pretty, pretty such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl

Come on, baby please, please, please

I’ll tell ya

[B/D#]  

You can put me out on the street

Put me out with no shoes on my feet

[B/D#] [B/D#]  

But put me out, put me out, put me out… out of misery

[B/D#]  

All your sickness I can suck it up

[E/D#]  

Throw it all at me

I can shrug it off

[B/D#]  

There’s one thing, baby, I don’t understand

[E/G#]  

You keep telling me I ain’t your kind of man

Ain’t I rough enough

[B/D#]  

Ain’t I tough enough

Ain’t I rich enough

[B/D#]  

In love enough

[B/D#]  

Ooh Ooh please

repeat first verse

end:

I don’t need no beast of burden

I need no fussing, I need no nursing

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be…
