SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL Jagger/Richards
Full tab with lead, rhythm and a 2 minutes solo
This is from the stage performance recorded on GET YER YA YAS OUT ! in 1970 in
Madison Square Gardens in New-York. I tabbed two guitars (and the bass in another tab ) :
- the lead guitar is tuned in OPEN G : (D) - G - D - G - B - D ( as usual the bass D is useless)
It is played like this :

- I tabbed the solo with the standard tuned guitar that also plays rhythm.
During Mick Taylor's solo, Keith Richards plays rhythm with the G tuned guitar like this :

The rhythm plays the simple sequence :
E : 022100
D : XX0323
A : 577655
And in the chorus
B : 799877
- the SOLO : in the performance it lasts 3'10". Sorry I only tabbed the first 2
minutes.
You can hear the full MP3 DEMO from my UG profile here :

I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for 10 decades for the gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?" when after all it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay
Get down, baby
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game, yeah
Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste, yeah
Get down
Ah yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Ah yeah
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, honey, can you guess my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
I'll tell you one time, you're (...)
All right
... ah yeah
Ah yeah, what's my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
Oh yeah
