You Can't Always Get What You want


Instrumental 




[Verse 1]

  E                      A
I saw her today at the reception
  E                    A
A glass of wine in her hand
  E                          A
I knew she would meet her connection
       E                      A
At her feet was her footloose man
 
        E                         A
No, you can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                    A
But if you try sometime, you'll find
                 E           A   E   A  E  A  E  A
You get what you need  



[Verse 2]

 
      E                      A
And I went down to the demonstration
   E                      A
To get my fair share of abuse
          E                        A
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
      E                       A
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
A
Sing it to me now...
 
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                       A
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
                 E           A   E   A
You get what you need  ahhhhhhah baby, yeah


[Verse 3]
 
  E                          A
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
   E                      A
To get your prescription filled
      E                        A
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
    E                      A
And man, did he look pretty ill



[Verse 4]


     E                        A
We decided that we would have a soda
   E                      A
My favorite flavor, cherry red
  E                      A
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
              E                      A
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
A
I said to him

 
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                                   A
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
                 E           A
You get what you need  Oh yes! Woo!

  E                      A
I saw her today at the reception
       E                    A
In her glass was a bleeding man
        E                         A
She was practiced at the art of deception
             E                        A
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

 
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                                       A
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find
                 E       A  E   A
You get what you need

 

 
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
    E                         A
You can't always get what you want
           F#                                       A
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you just might find that
                 E           A   E   A
You get what you need  ahhhhhhah yeah
