It's Only Rock n' Roll - Rolling Stones chords
Start Jamming...
Hey y'all.
Here's another Stones tune with a really cool acoustic guitar part underneath it that I think kind of holds the whole thing together.
[B]
[D#] There's really only a few chords.
[E] E, A, [A] [G] [E] G, and then [D] there's a D in it.
[E] [B] And the only other chord is B.
Do you think that you're the only [A] one?
Back to A.
[D#] That's [E] really, I mean, [F#m] there's that part in the middle.
But for the most part, this is just [Bm] a rhythm workout.
But a [B] good one to practice varying up the strumming, [E] you can do
[A]
You know, just messing around with the chords and get a feel for it.
[G] [E]
What if we had lost the world, would you have fought?
If I was in love, would you have died?
[E]
[A] I know, I saw it happen, oh

[E]
[A] [E] [A]
[E]
[A]
[D] I [A]
think it's [A] all gone, [E] it's not a bad idea
If I was dead, would I do it all?
Suicide by mistake
What if we had loved, would we have been in the pain?
[G]
[E] If I could pick and read my heart, would it be a simple alright?
Would it set the fire, would I shout out loud?
I would say, I would [A] say
[E] If
[A] I
[E]
[A] could pick [E] [D] [A]
and read my heart, would I shout out loud?
I [D] would say, [A] [D] [A]
[E] I
[B] would say
If I could pick and read [A] my heart,
[B] would I shout out loud?
I would say, I would [A] say
I'm not a bad person.
