#This file is the author's own work and represents his interpretation of the # # From : Jean-Pierre Trolet 5 july 2002 You will find a MP3 for each part of this song recorded by myself to illustrate the tab and how to contact me on my webpage here: http://jptrol.free.fr/mus CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING - JAGGER-RICHARDS Following honky tonk women here is another tune with syncopated riffs and instrumental prolongations. This is the tale of Romeo and Juliet seen by our rockers. Juliet is reluctant and the disappointed Romeo is vociferating. The tab is divided into three parts : - the main theme with intro, verse and chorus - the middle jazzy part with a saxophone (this saxophone is not tabbed here)! - Mick Taylor's solo This is the full tab of the entire song. FIRST PART: The first part is played with a lead guitar tuned in OPEN G, that is from low to high : D G D G B D. The rhythm guitar is in standard tuning and plays full chords in a staccato way in the verse part. In the verse part I noted the chord for each stroke : C : 8 10 10 9 8 8 C#: 9 11 11 10 9 9 D : 10 12 12 11 10 10 G : 3 5 5 4 3 3 F : 1 3 3 2 1 1 In the chorus part simply play them slowly.
