| Goes on and on.. Here we go again.. |
| These G5-chords are played on the upstrokes, but listen to the record to |
| get the correct rythm.. |
| | | | | |

| A-----------0h2---5------------------5----------- |
| E---------3--------------------------3----------- |
| Now the chorus comes along.. G chord and D chord, and then a little riff: |
| e--------------------- |
| B--12---13-12---13-12- |
| G--12---14-12---14-12- |
| D--12---12-12---12-12- |
| A--------------------- |
| E--------------------- |
| This riff twice, before some more g chord and D chord, and then the |
| end-of-chorus-riff: |
| e------------------------------ |
| B------------------------------ |
| G---2gl4-4-----2-2gl4gl2-0---0- |
| D---4gl5-5-----4-4gl5gl4-0-2-0- |
| A------------------------------ |
| E------------------------------ |
| This riff I'm not so sure about.. The glissandos are right, but I think there's |
| supposed to be some more up'n'down.. |
| Keef of course plays the thing differently on the second verse, but I've never |
| bothered to do that.. All the parts that lead up to a different chord can be |
| changed around and altered, and I think that it's mainly this Keith R. does. |
| A final remark: This is of course not correct, since Keith plays this in open-G- |
| tuning (d-B-G-D-G WITHOUT the 6th string). |
| If there is enough interest, I can dig out the solo too.. |

| Hi, |
| This one really sounds best played in open-G tuning, this is |
| (more or less) how I play it. |
| So, here it is... |
| H O N K Y T O N K W O M A N |
| ============================= |
| by |
| T H E R O L L I N G S T O N E S |
| For open-G tuning: tune down E-high to D, tune down A to G. |
| Now it is -GDGBD low to high. |

| OK for this one you need to learn the open G tuning |
| - it was Keith Richards favourite tuning |
| From low to high it is : D G D G B D |
| so tune both Es down to D and tune the A down to a G and you've got it |
| Most of the song can then be played using very simple shapes : |
| DGDGBD DGDGBD DGDGBD DGDGBD DGDGBD |
| 000000 555555 557565 222222 777777 |
| G C F/C A D |
| DGDGBD DGDGBD |
| 779787 002000 |
| G/D G6 |
| I can't remember all the words, but try this : |
| G C F/C C |
| I met her at a ............ |
| G A D G/D D |
| She said she wants to take me for a ride |
| G C F/C C |
| ......................................... |
| G D G |
| Chorus : |
| G G6 G G6 D G/D D G |
| Hon - - key Tonk Women |
| G G6 G G6 D G/D D G |
| Give me Give me Give me the honkey tonk blues |
| There's quite a scope for using variations on these shapes, but this |
| should give you the basic sound |
