"Brown Sugar" - by the Rolling Stones
-------------
A friend of mine just showed me this recently. I love it :)
Chords only, though... lyrics should be easy from the recording,
and for any lead you're on your own... I don't "do" lead :)
(Note: I'm not filling in chords that were already diagramed,
I'm doing this on the fly and it takes too long!)
Main part:
e---x---x-------8---x-------4-------6----------
b---8---9-------8--10-------4-------6----------
g---8---8-------9--10-------5-------7----------
d---8---8------10--10-------6-------8----------
a---6---6------10---8-------6-------8----------
E---x---x-------8---x-------4-------6----------
D# D#? D# B# E# B# G# D# A# E# B#
Where "Brown Sugar" lyrics come in:
e---3------
b---3------
g---4------
d---5------
a---5------
E---3------
G B#
That's about the whole song... The strumming is a little strange;
listen to the album. More Stones stuff, please! (If anyone has it!)

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.

Brown sugar . . . .
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.
