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:

Gi  Am7    Gi  Am7    Gi


Verse:

Bm               Giii
     Childhood living

Bm               Giii
     Is easy to do

Am7                Cii
     The things you wanted,

Gii                    C6
     I brought them for you


     Graceless lady,
     You know who I am,
     You know I can't let you,
     Slide through my hands


Chorus:

Bm   Am7         Cii
           Wild Horses,

Bm Am7 Gii         F         Ci
           Couldn't drag me away,

           Wild, wild horses,
           Couldn't drag me away...


     I watched you suffer
     A dull, aching pain
     Now you decided
     To show me the same


     No sweeping exits
     Or off-stage lines,
     Can make me feel bitter,
     Or treat you unkind


(Refrain)


     I know I 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 die...


(refrain)




Here are the chords:

    Gi  320003          Am7  575555           Bm  799777
   Gii  355433          Cii  875558            F  133211
    C6  x35555          Am9  575587           Ci  x32010

  Giii  7 10 9 7 8 7

In the third verse, you can replace the Am7 with an Am9.  (Although
now that I listen to it, I think the ninth is actually coming from
the lead guitar.  But it still sounds nice to use Am9 for a little
variety, especially with only one guitar)

I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections.

   I've fooled with the song some. Not real sure about the exact
   placement of these chords. Trust your ear.

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.

This is a new submission.  


               WILD HORSES written by the rolling stones
               Notated as played by the Sundays from the album
               Blind


Tablature & Transcription by Brandon Milner (bmilner@netcom.com)


The intro is:
320033 (G major)      X32033 (Cadd2)  320033          X32033

VERSE:
224432 (B min)        320033 (G)       224432 (Bmin)   320033 (G)

X02210 (A min)        X32010 (C maj)   320033 (G)      X00232 (Dmaj)

       {X00233  X00232 X00232 X00230 } played quick (D suspension)


CHORUS:
           Wi-        ild        horses          couldn't
X02210 (A min)                    X32010 (C)     320033 (G)

drag me                                   a-   way
1330XX  (F)                                    X32010 (C)

BRIDGE:

There are like 3 acoustic tracks plus more electric here so you can play
just about any voicing of these chords and the notes are probably in there
somewhere. 

Fmaj9 (X03010)    Cmaj9 (X3001)  X 4   

the turnaround back into verse is (X320XX) (X540XX)

NOW for the 2nd guitar part during the CHORUS:

I'm going to butcher the time but listen carefully to the song and 
you will get it. note the interesting syncopation though (tricky)

Play on high 2 strings:
                               Wild...
12-12-12-12|  eighth note each 10-10-10-10    1 sixteenth note each
10-10-10-10|                   12-12-12-12 

    Horses...
12--10-10-10-10   then 10-10-10-10      fast, 1 sixteenth each
10--12-12-12-12        12-12-12-12



          Couldn't......AWAY
8---7-8---10--7-8---10--7--3--3--3--3-
10--8-10--12--8-10--12--8--5--5--5--5-
                        0--0--0--0--0- (G string played open)

Good luck with my strange rhythmic notating.
