The Rolling Stones

You Cant Always Get What You Want

Capo 5

This song will be played in an open G tuning so that means EADGBe will be XGDGBD.
Take the lowest E off, tune the 'A' string to a 'G' and tune the highest E to a 'D'.
Now you have a tuning like this: XBDGBD
You can also tune the lowest 'E' down a 'D'. Then, in case you happen to hit it...
the chords will still sound OK

[Verse]
G Gadd9 G C
I saw her today at the reception,
G Gadd9 G C
a glass of wine in her hand
G Gadd9 G C
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,
G Gadd9 G C
at her feet was a footloose man

[Chorus]
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
A C G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G Gadd9 G C
I went down to the demonstration,
G Gadd9 G C
to get my fair share of abuse
G Gadd9 G C
Singing, "we're gonna vent our frustration,
G Gadd9 G C
if we don't we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse"

[Chorus]
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
A C G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Verse]
G Gadd9 G C
I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store,
G Gadd9 G C
to get your prescription filled
G Gadd9 G C
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
G Gadd9 G C
and man did he look pretty ill

G Gadd9 G C
We decided we would have a soda,
G Gadd9 G C
my favorite flavour: cherry red
G Gadd9 G C
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,
G Gadd9 G C
and he said one word to me and that was "dead"

[Chorus]
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
A C G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need

[Verse]
G Gadd9 G C
I saw her today at the reception,
G Gadd9 G C
in her glass was a bleeding man
G Gadd9 G C
She was practiced at the art of deception,
G Gadd9 G C
I could tell by her bloodstained hands

[Chorus]
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
G Gadd9 G C
You can't always get what you want
A C G
but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need
