Tuning:

From: cscsj@lux.latrobe.edu.au ( Junacko) The original version of this is 3 guitars. Acoustic 1 ("Nashville tuning"- low 3 strings an octave up) this is the one which starts the song off, there are no bass strings which gives it that high sound. After the intro it mainly plays harmonics Acoustic 2 (Open G- D G D G B D) this is the main acoustic throughout the song. If I get some requests I will put this part down. Electric 3 (Standard tuning) this is Mick Taylor's classic backing and superb solo. If I get _lots_ of requests I might summon the energy to tab the solo, if I get hundreds I might even tab the whole part. For now, I will just do CRD. Despite having 3 guitars on the original recording, this one sounds surprisingly full with just 1 acoustic (standard tuning) and voice. Intro: G Am7 G Gsus Am7 G Bm G Gsus Bm G Gsus 1.

(Although now that I listen to it, I think the ninth is actually coming from the lead guitar. But it still sounds nice to use Am9 for a little variety, especially with only one guitar) I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections.

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain. Now you decided to show me the same. No sweeping exit or off-stage lines Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind. Wild horses couldn't drag me away; Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away. I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie. I have my freedom, but I don't have much time. Faith has been broken, tears must be cried. Let's do some living after we die. Wild horses couldn't drag me away; Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday.

The rhythm is the same as the verse, the lead is built off of the Bm pentatonic, the notes are: (fret/string) 10/1,8/1,7/1,5/1 Listen to it, it'll take about two seconds to figure it out. Verse 1:

^BmI heard^G living^Bm is easy to^G do ^Amthe pains you^C wante^Dd, ^GI bought them for you^D ^C

note: the D and the last C are transitional chords, a quick down-up-down-up and then change to the next chord

^BmGraceless ^Glady,^Bm you know I ^Gam ^AmYou know I can't^C let you^D, ^Gslide through my ^Dhands

Chorus:

^AmWild ^CHorses^D, ^Gcouldn't ^Fdrag me a^Cway ^D ^AmWild ^CHorses^D, ^Gcouldn't ^Fdrag me a^Cway

(again those D chords are transitional) Verse 2:

^BmThose sweeping ^Gexits, ^Bmwhoa off stage ^Glines ^Amcould make me be^C bitter^D, ^Gand treat you un^Dkind

Chorus Verse 3:

^BmFaith has been^G broken, ^Bmtears must be^G cried ^AmLet's do some^C living^D, ^Gafter we di^De

Chorus last line sung as: Wild horses, I'm gonna ride them some day Either fade it out or end with a: D(transitional) G Note: A quick listen to the album will show you what I mean about those transitional chords. Also, I did my best to show where the changes fall, but as you play it you'll get the nuances. Some of the changes just hang a bit longer than others.
