[G] [B#] That's about the whole song... The strumming is a little strange;
listen to the album. More Stones stuff, please! (If anyone has it!)

Brown Sugar
CORRECTED VERSION: 1.A
IMPORTANT!! Use open G tuning -DGDGBD- that Keith uses on many Stones
songs, e.g., Honky Tonk Woman, I Go Wild, etc. Drop the high E string
to D, Drop the A string to G, and drop the low E string to D.
The song is pretty easy to play once you get the tuning and the basic
chord and rythym patterns down.

Brown sugar . . . .
Notes in parentheses are optional, but add a deeper, bluesy flavor,
especially when slightly bent.
At the end, when Mick is singing, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, . . . woo!" go back and
forth between G (open) and C (5th fret bar). (If you've gotten this far, you
will figure it out.)
I'm tabbing from memory, but I think this should at least get you close.
Feel free to send comments/suggestions.

BROWN SUGAR INTRO
There have been a few requests on the net for more "Stones stuff".
I presume that means "Keith Richard". I would like to contribute
with an attempt on the Brown Sugar Intro. In previous letters
tabulatures were presented with more complex fingering - without
retuning the instrument. The following is more straightforward.
N.B. Open-G tuning is requiered. Through away your lower-D string
if you are perticular about sounding like Keith does. X, Y, Z are the
10th, 11th an 12th position. In hex that would be A, B, C but confusing
to use.
D ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- B ---- 8--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -011 0--- G ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- D ---- 9--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -022 0--- G ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- D ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- D ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- B ---- 8--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -011 0--- G ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- D ---- 9--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -022 0--- G ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- D ---- 7--- 7--- ---- -0-- -0-- -000 0--- D --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- B --X- Y--- Y--- Y-X- --7- 8--- 8--- 8-7- G --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- D --X- Z--- Z--- Z-X- --7- 9--- 9--- 9-7- G --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- B --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 4-3- 6-5- --7- 8-8- 8-8- 8-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 5-3- 7-5- --7- 9-9- 9-9- 9-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- D --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- B --X- Y--- Y--- Y-X- --7- 8--- 8--- 8-7- G --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- D --X- Z--- Z--- Z-X- --7- 9--- 9--- 9-7- G --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- B --X- X--- X--- X-X- --7- 7--- 7--- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 4-3- 6-5- --7- 8-8- 8-8- 8-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 5-3- 7-5- --7- 9-9- 9-9- 9-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7- B --3- 3-3- 3-3- 5-5- --7- 7-7- 7-7- 7-7-
(etc...)
I hope I got the timing right. (Too bad Emacs isn't connected to
/dev/audio and programmed to play tabulature...)
