You Can't Always Get What You Want: Rolling Stones

 

  C                      F

I saw her today at the reception

C                      F

A glass of wine in her hand

  C                           F

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

        C                  F

And her feet was footloose man

 

Chorus

    C                         F

You can’t always get what you want

    C                         F

You can’t always get what you want

    C                         F

You can’t always get what you want

           D7                 F

But if you try sometimes, you might find

                 C            F        C     F

You get what you need

 

I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singin’ "We’re gonna vent our frustrations

If we don’t, we’re gonna blow a 50 amp fuse!"

 

Chorus

 

I went down to the Chelsea drug store

To get your prescription filled

I was standin’ in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill

 

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor, cherry red

I sung my song Mr. Jimmy

And he said one word to me, and that was "Dead"

I said to him

 

Chorus

 

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hand

 

Chorus
