#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# From: [email protected] ( Junacko) The original version of this is 3 guitars. Acoustic 1 ("Nashville tuning"- low 3 strings an octave up) this is the one which starts the song off, there are no bass strings which gives it that high sound. After the intro it mainly plays harmonics Acoustic 2 (Open G- D G D G B D) this is the main acoustic throughout the song. If I get some requests I will put this part down. Electric 3 (Standard tuning) this is Mick Taylor's classic backing and superb solo. If I get _lots_ of requests I might summon the energy to tab the solo, if I get hundreds I might even tab the whole part. For now, I will just do CRD. Despite having 3 guitars on the original recording, this one sounds surprisingly full with just 1 acoustic (standard tuning) and voice. Intro: G Am7 G Gsus Am7 G Bm G Gsus Bm G Gsus 1.

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.

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 wanted, 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 away Am C D G F C Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away (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 decided, 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 unkind 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 die 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.

About the artist behind Wild Horses Chords:
The band formed in 1962 when original leader Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart were joined by singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, whose songwriting partnership later contributed to their taking the leadership role in the group. Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early lineup. Ian Stewart was removed from the official lineup in 1963 but continued to work with the band as road manager and keyboardist until his death in 1985.
The band's early recordings were mainly covers of American blues and R&B songs. Their 1965 single "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" established the Rolling Stones as a premier rock and roll act.[2] Starting with their 1966 album Aftermath, the songs of Jagger and Richards, aided by the instrumental experimentation of Jones, expanded an always present stylistic flexibility. Jones died in 1969 shortly after being fired from the band and was replaced by Mick Taylor.[3] Taylor recorded five albums with The Rolling Stones before quitting in 1974. Former Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood stepped in and has been with the band ever since. Wyman left the Rolling Stones in 1993; bassist Darryl Jones, who is not an official band member, has worked with the group since 1994.
The Rolling Stones have released 22 studio albums in the UK (24 in the US), eight concert albums (nine in the US) and numerous compilations;[4][5] they have had 32 UK & US top-10 singles,[6] 43 UK & US top-10 albums between 1964 and 2008,[citation needed] and have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide.[7] 1971's Sticky Fingers began a string of eight consecutive studio albums at number one in the United States. In 1989 the Rolling Stones were inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 they were ranked number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[8] They are also ranked as the number 2 artists of all time on Acclaimedmusic.net.[9] Their latest studio album, A Bigger Bang, was released in 2005 and followed by the highest-grossing tour in history, which lasted into late summer 2007. During the 1969 American tour, tour manager Sam Cutler introduced them as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World",[10] a title which has remained. Their image of unkempt and surly youth is one that many musicians still emulate.[10]
