HONKY TONK WOMEN
The Rolling Stones
Tab by:omanyen@fusemail.com
No one has tabbed this song completely, so I'll do it.
I've included most, ( if not all ) of the fill-in runs
which you hear throughout the song. There are alot of
them. I've done this in very detailed, small increments
to be more easily read. I've tried to place them where
they belong in reference to the lyrics.
INTRO:x=muff /=slide up =slide down b=bend r=rake(pull-off)

| no offense, but this tab makes no sense at all. Is there an alternate recording of this song (like in a different key with an alternate guitar tuning?) or what? | |
