Jumpin’ Jack Flash – The Rolling Stones
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Jagger/Richards
Originally a non-album single (1968)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The studio recording is somewhere in between Bb and B. Either the tuning
was sharp/flat during recording or the tape speed was changed during
mixdown.
My reading here is for a single acoustic guitar accompaniment. It can be
played without using the tabs at all; in this case play the voicings given
in the [Chords] section. The riff and melody provided in the tabs may be
a little tricky to play while singing, but with a little practice
they sound good.
Check out my short demo recording to hear what this tab sounds like:

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
A G5/A | A | G5/A |
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's Call Gright Dnow, in fact it's a Agas
But it's Call Gright, I'm DJumpin' Jack Flash

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
A G5/A | A | G5/A |
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's Call Gright Dnow, in fact it's a Agas
But it's Call Gright, I'm DJumpin' Jack Flash

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
A G5/A | A | G5/A |
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
A G5/A | A | G5/A |
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, yeah, yeah, yeah
A G5/A | A | G5/A |
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's Call Gright Dnow, in fact it's a Agas
But it's Call Gright, I'm DJumpin' Jack Flash
