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. | |
