# From: tim@shovel.Prime.COM (Tim Cantin) Date: 11 Aug 92 13:05:06 GMT "Brown Sugar" - by the Rolling Stones ------------- A friend of mine just showed me this recently. I love it :) Chords only, though... lyrics should be easy from the recording, and for any lead you're on your own... I don't "do" lead :) (Note: I'm not filling in chords that were already diagramed, I'm doing this on the fly and it takes too long!) Main part: e---x---x-------8---x-------4-------6---------- b---8---9-------8--10-------4-------6---------- g---8---8-------9--10-------5-------7---------- d---8---8------10--10-------6-------8---------- a---6---6------10---8-------6-------8---------- E---x---x-------8---x-------4-------6---------- D# D#? D# B# E# B# G# D# A# E# B# Where "Brown Sugar" lyrics come in: e---3------ b---3------ g---4------ d---5------ a---5------ E---3------ 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!)

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.

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.
