| Intro: |
| Gi | Am7 | Gi | Am7 | Gi | |
| Verse: |
| Bm | Giii | |
| Childhood li | ving |
| Bm | Giii | |
| Is easy to d | o |
| Am7 | Cii | |
| The things you | wanted, |
| Gii | C6 | |
| I brought them for | you |
| Graceless lady, |
| You know who I am, |
| You know I can't let you, |
| Slide through my hands |
| Chorus: |
| Bm | Am7 | Cii | |
| Wild H | orses, |
| Bm | Am7 | Gii | F | Ci | |
| Couldn't | drag me a | way, |
| Wild, wild horses, |
| Couldn't drag me away... |
| I watched you suffer |
| A dull, aching pain |
| Now you decided |
| To show me the same |
| No sweeping exits |
| Or off-stage lines, |
| Can make me feel bitter, |
| Or treat you unkind |
| (Refrain) |
| I know I dreamed you |
| A sin and a lie, |
| I have my freedom, |
| But I don't have much time |
| Faith has been broken, |
| Tears must be cried, |
| Let's do some living, |
| After we die... |
| (refrain) |
| Here are the chords: |
| Gi 320003 Am7 575555 Bm 799777 |
| Gii 355433 Cii 875558 F 133211 |
| C6 x35555 Am9 575587 Ci x32010 |
| Giii 7 10 9 7 8 7 |
| In the third verse, you can replace the Am7 with an Am9. (Although |
| now that I listen to it, I think the ninth is actually coming from |
| the lead guitar. But it still sounds nice to use Am9 for a little |
| variety, especially with only one guitar) |
| I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections. |

| From: Ed Finegold |
| Wild Horses |
| by The Rolling Stones |
| transcription by: Ken Friedson and Ed Finegold |
| Intro: |
| There are two guitar parts at the intro. |
| The rhythm is the same as the verse, |
| the lead is built off of the Bm pentatonic, the notes are: |
| (fret/string) |
| 10/1,8/1,7/1,5/1 |
| Listen to it, it'll take about two seconds to figure it out. |
| Verse 1: |
| Bm | G | Bm | G | |
| I heard | living | is easy to | do |
| Am | C | D | G | D | C | |
| the pains you | wante | d, | I bought them for you |
| note: the D and the last C are transitional chords, a quick |
| down-up-down-up and then change to the next chord |
| Bm | G | Bm | G | |
| Graceless | lady, | you know I | am |
| Am | C | D | G | D | |
| You know I can't | let you | , | slide through my | hands |
| Chorus: |
| Am | C | D | G | F | C | D | |
| Wild | Horses | , | couldn't | drag me a | way |
| Am | C | D | G | F | C | |
| Wild | Horses | , | couldn't | drag me a | way |
| (again those D chords are transitional) |
| Verse 2: |
| Bm | G | Bm | G | |
| I watched you | suffer, | a dull aching | pain |
| Am | C | D | G | D | C | |
| Now you've de | cided | , | to show me the | same |
| Bm | G | Bm | G | |
| Those sweeping | exits, | whoa off stage | lines |
| Am | C | D | G | D | |
| could make me be | bitter | , | and treat you un | kind |
| Chorus |
| Verse 3: |
| Bm | G | Bm | G | |
| I know I | dreamed you, | a sin and a | lie |
| Am | C | D | G | D | C | |
| I have my | freedom | , | but I don't have much | time |
| Bm | G | Bm | G | |
| Faith has been | broken, | tears must be | cried |
| Am | C | D | G | D | |
| Let's do some | living | , | after we di | e |
| Chorus |
| last line sung as: |
| Wild horses, I'm gonna ride them some day |
| Either fade it out or end with a: D(transitional) G |
| Note: A quick listen to the album will show you what I mean |
| about those transitional chords. Also, I did my best to |
| show where the changes fall, but as you play it you'll |
| get the nuances. Some of the changes just hang a bit longer |
| than others. |

Some decent work here on some of it. But Good Lord, What some people actually think are the words in the lyrics is amazing and funny at times.
Fire in the Hole!
