ROLLING STONES
INTRO: A D -- 4x's
VERSE:
A
Yeah, momma and poppa told me
D
I was crazy to stay

I was gay in New York

Which is a fag in L.A.

So I saved my money

And I took a plane
A D
Wherever I go they treat me the same
CHORUS:
A D
When the whip comes down
A D
When the whip comes down
A D
When the whip comes down
A D A D A D
When the whip comes down
VERSE:
I'm going down fifty-third street
And they're spitting in my face
I'm learning the ropes
Yeah I'm learning a trade
The east river truckers
Is churning with trash
I've got so much money
That I'm spending so fast
CHORUS 2:
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
A
When the shit hits the fan
D
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
VERSE:
Yeah, some called me garbage
While I was sleeping on the street
I never roll
And I never cheat
I'm filling a need
I'm plugging a hole
My mama's so glad
I ain't on the dole
CHORUS 3:
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the shit hits the fan
I'm sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
G D G D G D
When the whip comes down

| Lovely backing vocals from Mick and a heartbreaking moment for Keith as he finally displays some vulnerability and admits his problems with smack. One of the better moments on the otherwise lukewarm Goats Head Soup. | |

| wow, just broke out this cd today for the first time in a while... it is such a well done tune, i love taylor's background wah. to me the lyrics are mainly about drug use with romantic overtones of richard's woo-ing anita pallenberg from jones. the lyrics go "he turned green..", NOT "she", and i believe "he"=brian jones. | |

| One of several homoerotic songs from the stones (check out 'memo from turner' and 'cocksucker blues') | |
