Subject: Re: TAB: Love in Vain , Robert Johnson
The Rolling Stones rendering of this oldie is entirely different. Keith wanted
to do this after having got hold of other RJ recordings which he hadn't heard
previously, but wanted to add something of the Stones to it. Personally, I think
this version stands on it own (IMHO).
It was recorded in G on 'Get you Ya-Ya's out in 12/8 measure. The chords are:
[intro]
| G | Em C | G G7 | D |
[verse]
| G | G | G7 | G7 |
| C | D7 | G D7 | Gsus4 G |
| D7 D/F# | Em C | G G7 | D |

Whoa, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind

| Nobody posted???? The guitar at the start of this song and well pretty much throughout is so beautiful... It's a song about a guy who loves a girl and she leaves him on a train and he feels like all the love he put into her/used was in vain or that there was no point because it didn't make her stay with him.. | |
