Wild
Horses
Written by: The Rolling Stones
Performed Live by: Guns N' Roses
Tabbed by: Brandon Milner (bmilner@netcom.com)
The original version of this is 3 guitars.
Acoustic 1 ("Nashville tuning"- low 3 strings an octave up). This is the one which starts the song off, there are no bass strings which gives it that high sound. After the intro it mainly plays harmonics.
Acoustic 2 (Open G- D G D
G B D)
This is the main acoustic throughout
the song. If I get some requests I will put this part down.
Electric 3 (Standard tuning)
This is Mick Taylor's classic
backing and superb solo. If I get _lots_ of requests I might summon the energy
to tab the solo, if I get hundreds I might even tab the whole part.
For now, I will just do CRD. Despite having 3 guitars on the original recording, this one sounds surprisingly full with just 1 acoustic (standard tuning) and voice.
Intro:
G Am7 G Gsus Am7 G
Bm G Gsus Bm G Gsus
1. Childhood living is easy to do
Am G C D G Gsus G D Dsus2 D C
The things you wanted I brought them for you
Bm G Gsus Bm G Gsus
Graceless lady you know who I am
Am G C D G Gsus G D Dsus2 D
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Am G C D G F G C Bm
Ch. Wild horses couldn't drag me a- way
Am G C D G F G C
Wild wild horses couldn't drag me a- way
2. I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off-stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Ch. Wild horses couldn't drag me away
C(VIII)
Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away
[guitar break]
Fsus2(VIII) C(VIII) x 3
D G
3. I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we'll die
Ch. Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them some day.
