The Rolling Stones - “Sister morphine“ Chords

Another classic written by the Glimmer Twins, a.k.a. Mick Jagger/Keith Richard. It is from the legendary 'Sticky Fingers' album and features Ry Cooder on slide guitar.

Related pages are Sister morphine tabs, Doom and gloom tabs, Honky tonk women (Ver2) tabs, You cant always get what you want tabs, Its only rock n roll tabs. See all The Rolling Stones tabs. Submit corrected and missing chords here.

I'm not even going to attempt to tab Ry Cooder's slide guitar for

this- are there any tab conventions for slide?
