The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar

      
 
 Rolling Stones
 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.
