by The ROLLING STONES - written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

 
version française

 
A 1968 production by the Rolling Stones with an easy piece of slide guitar in it.
Also very easy to get from ear.

It is played with three guitars (including the bass) and this is the tab for  each of them.

You can download a demo MP3  in which I recorded myself playing the 3 guitars here :


I made a few corrections in the slide guitar tab and bass too.  The demo has been updated and recorded with a Martin D-28 as the rhythm guitar.

( update on 11th september 2009 )


The RHYTHM GUITAR (acoustic) is left in standard tuning.

The SLIDE GUITAR (acoustic too) is tuned, as often with slide, to OPEN E like this
from low to high : E - B - E - G# - B - E . You can also tune it to open D and put a capo on the 2nd fret

Legend :
> > >  : strumm in rhythm (very easy if you listen to the CD or the demo)
/ : slide-up
\ : slide-down
h : hammer-on
b : bend (1/4)
ALL NOTES of the SLIDE GUITAR are played with the slide bar (or bottleneck ?)
 

INTRO :

Only the RHYTHM GUITAR  plays the intro that cannot be more simple
