Lyrics and Chords

Intro: (x4)
G | Cadd9

Verse 1:
   G                Cadd9
I saw her today at a reception,
G                     Cadd9
  A glass of wine in her hand.
    G                     Cadd9
I knew she would meet her connection.
        G                  Cadd9
At her feet was her footloose man.

Chorus:
     G                     Cadd9
You can't always get what you want.
(x3)

             A!                C!
But if you try sometimes, you might find
                  G Cadd9
You get what you need.  Ooh.
G Cadd9
Yeah, ooh.

Verse 2:
       G                   Cadd9
And I went down to the demonstration
    G                 Cadd9
To get my fair share of abuse
           G                     Cadd9
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration,
       G                           Cadd9
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse".
(Sing it to me now.)

[Chorus]

Verse 3:
   G                     Cadd9
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
    G                 Cadd9
To get your prescription filled.
        G                    Cadd9
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
     G                  Cadd9
And man, did he look pretty ill?

Verse 4:
      G                      Cadd9
We decided that we would have a soda,
    G                   Cadd9
My favorite flavor, cherry red.
   G               Cadd9
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy, yeah,
        G                              Cadd9
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead".
(I said to him,)

Chorus:
     G                     Cadd9
You can't always get what you want.
(x3)

             A!
But if you try sometime,
                    C!
You just might find
                  G     Cadd9
You get what you need, ooh yeah. Ooh.

Instrumental:
A! | C! | A! | C! | A

Chorus:
G | Cadd9
Ooh,    ooh.
(x3)

A! | C!
                  G Cadd9
You get what you need, yeah.
    G    Cadd9
Oh babe. Oh yeah!

Verse 5:
   G                Cadd9
I saw her today at the reception,
         G               Cadd9
In her glass was a bleeding man.
          G                    Cadd9
She was practiced at the art of deception,
               G                     Cadd9
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands.

Chorus:
     G                     Cadd9
You can't always get what you want.
(x3)

             A!
But if you try sometime,
                          C!
You just might find, you just might find,
                  G     Cadd9
You get what you need, ooh yeah.
G    Cadd9
Ooh. Oh yeah!

Chorus:
     G                     Cadd9
You can't always get what you want.
(x3)

             A!
But if you try sometime,
                          C!
You just might find, you just might find,
                  G     Cadd9
You get what you need, aah yeah.
G Cadd9
Ooh,  ooh.
