Wild Horses The Rolling Stones
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]I heard[G] living[Bm] is easy to[G] do
[Am]the pains you[C] wante[D]d, [G]I bought them for you[D] [C]
note: the D and the last C are transitional chords, a quick
down-up-down-up and then change to the next chord
[Bm]Graceless [G]lady,[Bm] you know I [G]am
[Am]You know I can't[C] let you[D], [G]slide through my [D]hands
Chorus:
[Am]Wild [C]Horses[D], [G]couldn't [F]drag me a[C]way[D]
[Am]Wild [C]Horses[D], [G]couldn't [F]drag me a[C]way
(again those D chords are transitional)
Verse 2:
[Bm]I watched you [G]suffer, [Bm]a dull aching [G]pain
[Am]Now you've de[C]cided[D], [G]to show me the [D]same[C]
[Bm]Those sweeping [G]exits, [Bm]whoa off stage [G]lines
[Am]could make me be[C] bitter[D], [G]and treat you un[D]kind
Chorus
Verse 3:
[Bm]I know I [G]dreamed you,[Bm] a sin and a[G] lie
[Am]I have my[C] freedom[D], [G]but I don't have much[D] time[C]
[Bm]Faith has been[G] broken, [Bm]tears must be[G] cried
[Am]Let's do some[C] living[D], [G]after we di[D]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.
Glad I could give some back to the family.
peace,
[Ed]
