Rolling StonesBrown SugarCORRECTED VERSION: 1.AIMPORTANT!! Use open G tuning -DGDGBD- that Keith uses on many Stonessongs, e.g., Honky Tonk Woman, I Go Wild, etc. Drop the high E stringto 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 basicchord and rythym patterns down.Intro-------------------------------------------------------D---------------- -13-12-------------------------------------------------B---------------- -12-12--8-8-8-9-8--------------------------------------G---------------- -14-12--9-9-9-9-9--------------------------------------D---------------- -------------------------------------------------------G---------------- -------------------------------------------------------D----------------Verse intro--8-8-8--8--8--5-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-3-3--5-5-5-5---------------------------- --8-8-9--9--8--5-5-6-6-5--1-2-1-4-3--6-6-6-5---------------------------- --8-8-8--8--8--5-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-3-3--5-5-5-5---------------------------- --8-8-10-10-8--5-5-7-7-5--1-3-1-5-3--7-7-7-5---------------------------- --8-8-8--8--8--5-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-3-3--5-5-5-5----------------------------VerseC FGold coast . . .--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10------------------------------ --5-5-5-5-5-7-5-6--10-10-10-10-10-11-10-11------------------------------ --5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10------------------------------ --5-7-5-5-5-7-5-7--10-12-10-10-10-12-10-12------------------------------ --5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10------------------------------C Bflat-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------------------- -5-5-5-5-5-7-5-6-------------------------------------------------------- -5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------------------- -5-7-5-5-5-7-5-7--3-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-5-5----------------------------------- -5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-5-5-----------------------------------This basic pattern varies somewhat verse to verse.ChorusG C--------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------- --------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-5--------------------- -0-0------------5---3--0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------- -0-0-----0-2-0-(5)-(3)-0-0-2-0--5-5-7-5-7-5-5-7-7-5--------------------- -0-0-3/4-0---0-(5)-(3)-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------------------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 andforth between G (open) and C (5th fret bar). (If you've gotten this far, youwill figure it out.)I'm tabbing from memory, but I think this should at least get you close.Feel free to send comments/suggestions.
