Wild Horses

by The Rolling Stones
transcription by: Ken Friedson and Ed Finegold

Intro:
There are two guitar parts at the intro.
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.


Glad I could give some back to the family.

peace,

Ed
