Sister Morphine by The Rolling Stones: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights
"Sister Morphine" by The Rolling Stones is a haunting track featuring dark lyrics about drug addiction. Originally written by Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards added their touch to the song. The track stands out for its eerie atmosphere, with Jagger's vocals and Richards' slide guitar work creating a sense of unease. Charlie Watts' drumming and Bill Wyman's bassline provide a steady, ominous backdrop to the song.I CRDed the whole song because the chords change from verse to verse. There are of course other little twiddly bits than the 2 fills I've tabbed, but I'm sure you'll get the picture.. I'm not even going to attempt to tab Ry Cooder's slide guitar for this- are there any tab conventions for slide?
