(5.67a/IDA-1.5/LTU-1.0 for <jamesb@nevada.edu>); Fri, 11 Mar 1994 01:24:00 +1000 id AA28919; Fri, 11 Mar 1994 01:23:56 +1000 Here is my rough attempt at tab for a Stones classic. The songs is in open G tuning (D G D G B D). If you want to really be Keith Richards-esque, remove the low D string completely. First there is the opening riff as follows: D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----0------5----5--7----0----------------- B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----0------5----5--7----0-----------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0----------------- D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0----------------- G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0----------------- D -------------------------------------------------------------------- While I'm at it, I'll get all of the tab out of the way first. Here is the tab for the chorus parts: After All is ... D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----x------7------------------------------ B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----x------7------------------------------ G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------ D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----9------7------------------------------ G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------ D -------------------------------------------------------------------- I gotta move while ...

D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----0------5-------7----0----------------- B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----0------5-------7----0----------------- G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5-------7----0----------------- D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----0------5-------7----0----------------- G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5-------7----0----------------- D -------------------------------------------------------------------- Some chords you'll need to know in open G D G D G B D ---------------- G 0 0 0 0 0 0 and also 12 12 12 12 12 12 C 5 5 5 5 5 5 D 7 7 7 7 7 7 Emin x 9 9 9 x x F 10 10 10 10 10 10 A# 3 3 3 3 3 3 A common Keith chord is like you see on the fourth chording in the opening riff. It is like hammering on the same chord position you would call in standard (concert) guitar tuning for A minor augmented. For a C position chord, the hammer on would go: D G D G B D D G D G B D C-chord 5 5 5 5 5 5 hammer on F-chord 5 5 7 5 6 5 If you can do this, you can play Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, etc. etc. etc... Better Walk Before They Make Me Run by Jagger/Richards (opening riff) F Emin D F Emin D Worked the bars and ... G Only a crowd can make ... G And it really ... F Emin D F Emin D Booze and pills and ... G D Well here's another goodbye ... ( (bridge) G - D - F - C - A# G - D - F - C - A# G - D - F - C - D
