{st:The Rolling Stones}

In the meantime, here’s some other chords to try on that song.

Hope you like them…

|> Well, this is by no means complete TAB, but it’s such fun just to play the intro that I figured I’d post it. Keith probably used some wierd tuning and played it completely different! You might have to do some muting on that funny chord.

|> Also, I have no idea what the "real" key is on the record.

-|—————–15–14———————————————–
-|—————–14–14———————————————–
-|—————–14–14–5–7–7–9–9*-7–7–9———————–

{eot}

*This ‘9’ is sometimes a ‘5’ on the live version.

{sot}
-|—–x—x———————————————–
-|—-14–12—7—5—————————————
-|—-14–14—7—5—————————————
-|—-14–14—7—5—————————————

-|—-xx–xx———-5—5—5—5–5—-5—-5—5——-
{eot}

The ‘A’ chord (you’re playing the 1-5-8 version with no 3rd —

not major or minor) is actually two chords, a suspension that

resolves to the major — played at the 12th fret (drag).

Once it gets to the break, there’s the two chord da Daahh da Daahh

stuff… those chords are

{sot}
——————
——7———–
——7——5h6– (Do various riffs here)
——7——5—-
—7–5—7–7—-
—5–5—5–5—-
{eot}

The 5’th fret on the D string is a min 7 interval making the

major a dominant 7. The 5h6 is a hammer-on (gives it that

bluesy feel).
