There is no need for the open G tuning in my version but if you want to you can do so without having to substitute too much of my tabing. Occasionally I tune down the A-string to a G which enables me to do Stones chording and still play lead on the higher strings the way I'm used to. Experiment yourself. Since the right timing is hard to show in tablature, I haven't even tried to get it right. Listen to the record and you will get the feel. Last but not least, I'm not a very accomplished guitar-player or Stones interpreter but I hope this will help someone to play one of the greatest songs of all times, Patrik intro: 3 times 2 times E--------------------------------:||-----------------------:|| B---9--9--10--9------------------:||---9--9--9------9------:|| G---9--9--9---9------------------:||---9--9--9------9------:|| D---9--9--11--9------------9--9--:||---9--9--9--11-----11--:|| A-----------------9--9--9--9--9--:||-----------------------:|| E-----------------6--6--6--7--7--:||-----------------------:|| fill 1: E-------------------------------------| B---9--9--9------9-------9---10--9----| G---9--9--9------9-------9---9---9----| D---9--9--9--11-----11---9---11--9----| A-------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| chorus: 8 times E---------------:||-------|-------| B---4--4--5--4--:||---2---|---9---| G---4--4--4--4--:||---2---|---9---| D---4--4--6--4--:||---2---|---9---| A---------------:||-------|-------| E---------------:||-------|-------| chorus fill: (Bobby Keys' and Jim Price's parts actually) E--------------------| B--------------------| G---13--13--11--10---| D---15--15--13--11---| A--------------------| E--------------------| That is all tab I will supply you with.
