Tabs

AS TEARS GO BY by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Andrew Oldha

I play this song without any septime chord. It sounds great too
Each time I play the song, it sounds a little bit different, becaus
I finger with the chords around. It means, that I play all the notes tha
available for the current chord. Sometimes I added a g-note on the e-strin
to the D-chord [Dsus4Dsus4], sometimes I played the e-note on the E-string instead of th
e-note on the D-string. Things I ever do is the bridge [E minorEm]-[E minor 7Em7]-[C majorC] and th
finger style at the D-chord. This sounds great and if you heard it you won't miss it
The finger style at the D-chord supports also the melody
The chords in brackets are "only" interim chords, but it gives the song its own character

The chords are very simple: [G+G] [A augmentedA] [C majorC] [D MajorD

The intro is the same as the verse. Play it two times

Repeat the following part two times
