| Intro: |

| 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. |
| I've fooled with the song some. Not real sure about the exact |
| placement of these chords. Trust your ear. |

| 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. |
