Date: 18 Oct 95 12:22:02 EDT From: John Kollins <73027.3417@compuserve.com> Subject: r/rolling_stones/brown_sugar.tab Rolling Stones Brown Sugar CORRECTED VERSION: 1.A IMPORTANT!! 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.

So here it is, but remember, I only tabbed the lead guitar, not the rythm. The rythm guitar part is attached to the end of my file via Tim Cantin (tim@shovel.Prime.COM) and John Kollins (73027.3417@compuserve.com). Don't be overwhelmed by the fact that this file is three seperate files tied together. The Lead is played in standard tuning: Intro: pt.1 pt.2 G G A# e----------------------------------3-3-3----3-3-3----6--6--6--6-- b----------------------------------3-3-3----3-3-3----6--6--6--6-- g----------------------------------4-4-4----4-4-4----7--7--7--7-- d--0--3--5--5------0--3--5--5------5-5-5----5-5-5----8--8--8--8-- a----------------------------------5-5-5----5-5-5----8--8--8--8-- e----------------------------------3-3-3----3-3-3----6--6--6--6-- C G e---8--8--8--3-3-3--------------------------- b---8--8--8--3-3-3--------------------------- g---9--9--9--4-4-4--------------------------- (pt.2 = x2) d---10-10-10-5-5-5--------------------------- a---10-10-10-5-5-5--------------------------- e---8--8--8--3-3-3--------------------------- Verse: "Gold coast slave..."
