Here is my rough attempt at tab for a Stones classic. The songs is in
open G tuning (D G D G B D). If you want to really be Keith
Richards-esque, remove the low D string completely.
First there is the opening riff as follows:
D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----0------5----5--7----0-----------------
B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----0------5----5--7----0-----------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0-----------------
D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0-----------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5----5--7----0-----------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------------
While I'm at it, I'll get all of the tab out of the way first. Here is
the tab for the chorus parts:
After All is said and done
D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----x------7------------------------------
B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----x------7------------------------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------
D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----9------7------------------------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------------
I gotta move while it's still fun
D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----x------7------------------------------
B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----x------7------------------------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------
D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----9------7------------------------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----9------7------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------------
I better walk before they make me run
D 12----12--12--12--12-----x----0------5-------7----0-----------------
B 12----12--12--13--12-----x----0------5-------7----0-----------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5-------7----0-----------------
D 12----12--12--14--12-----9----0------5-------7----0-----------------
G 12----12--12--12--12-----9----0------5-------7----0-----------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------------
Some chords you'll need to know in open G

G 0 0 0 0 0 0 and also 12 12 12 12 12 12
C 5 5 5 5 5 5

F 10 10 10 10 10 10

A common Keith chord is like you see on the fourth chording in the
opening riff. It is like hammering on the same chord position you would
call in standard (concert) guitar tuning for A minor augmented.
For a C position chord, the hammer on would go:
D G D G B D D G D G B D
C-chord 5 5 5 5 5 5 hammer on F-chord 5 5 7 5 6 5
If you can do this, you can play Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, etc. etc.
etc...
Better Walk Before They Make Me Run
by Jagger/Richards
(opening riff)
F Emin D F Emin D
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twighlight zone
G
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
G
And it really hit home
F Emin D F Emin D
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
G D
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend
(use chorus tab)
After all is said and done
I better move while it's still fun
I better walk before they make me run
Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drifting as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well
After all is said and done
I better move I had my fun
I better walk before they make me run
(bridge) G - D - F - C - A#
G - D - F - C - A#
G - D - F - C - D
After all is said and done
I better move, it's still fun
I better walk before they make me
I better walk before they make me
I better walk before they make me run
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ROLLING STONES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
