All right Twisty - this has been a haemorroid to do - a pain in the yo-know-what- but you're a mate and a cool guy so here goes...........

START ME UP – The Rolling Stones

Intro………

B..5.6.6..5.6.6..5.6.6..3.3.4.3.4.3.3.4.3
G..5.5.5..5.5.5..5.5.5..3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3
D..5.7.7..5.7.7..5.7.7..3.3.5.3.5.3.3.5.3

Repeat…….

This riff is continued throughout the verses……….

Chorus...

B.5.6.6.p5..s10.11.11.p10
G.5.5.5..5..s10.10.10...10
D.5.7.7.p5..s10.12.12.p10

(repeated twice)

then for last line of chorus

B.5.6.5..5.5.h6.5.. 5.5.h6.5..6p5.5..h6p5.h6.5p.
G.5.5.5..5.5..5.5...5.5.h6.5..5..5.5....5..5..5...5
D.5.7.5..5.5.h7.5. 5.5.h6.5..7p5.5...h7p5.h7p5

Then back to the intro/verse riff again………….

This is the first time I've tried to put the things I've learned from Wes and Grim to good use – if it sounds ok, thank them –if it doesn't then it's my fault.

partial chords

And if it does sound OK try some of their other tabs – these guys have heads stuffed full of classic rock songs!!!
Wish Mr Spock had taught me that Vulcan mind-meld………………

Thanks again to Wes and Grim for the help and encouragement………..

Vic

And if you can work out one word in five of the lyrics then "Mister you're a better man than I am".................

Is this done in Keith's open tuning? Or is it standard EADGBe?

And, yes, I think Wes and Deadlock should receive medals for all the great work they've done with these songs.

Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.

This is standard E A D G B E tuning - every other tab I've ever seen for this has it in open D or open G - sorry I am too lazy and too set in my ways to start farting about with open tunings - so i'll call it as i see it........

Apart from the open tunings I use for slide.........

Then again if Keef could show me how.............

Wes's "Alright now" is still the best one I've seen - Grim's "whole lotta love " is a very good and a very close second - what d'you think people?

A big hand for Wes and Grim

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Don't ever stop rockin'...................

Vic

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Woohoo Thanks Vic. I'll be on this tonight. Mucho thanks to all three of you. Some killer songs have been posted by all of you. I should be busy for months. :D

Lyrics to Start Me Up.

Start Me Up (Jagger/Richards)

If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up

You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man (radio edit)
You, you make a dead man (radio edit)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"
