Home R Rolling Stones Midnight Rambler Intro Guitar Tab

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MIDNIGHT RAMBLER - Rolling Stones
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ryan Murphy
Email: coldcutcombo16@yahoo.com

Tuning: Standard - Capo 7th Fret

I've seen a couple other tabs that really just confuse this easy intro.
Here's the easiest way to play it...it also should sound the best. All
tabbed notes are relative to the capo position. Enjoy.

e|---------2-0-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------3-3-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------2-2-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------0-0--2-2h4-2-2-2h4-2--------------------------------------------|
A|-2-2h4-2------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----then repeat----------------------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------------------------------------|

It's about Mick Jagger's lust for being a "prowler" or "stalker". Can't you hear me Knockin' is kind of a continuation of that. Possibly the 2 best Stones songs. He does refer to the Boston Strangler but he's Mick the Midnight Rambler lol.

I always thought this was about Jack the Ripper.

This is one violent song but there are some lyrics missing here...I'm going to attempt to post them now.

The song says "I AIN'T talking about the Boston Strangler"
