[F#] [B] [F#] [B]
[F#] When I'm gone, [B] when [F#] I'm gone,
[B] [F#m] I'll burn my vertebrae out like [Bm] dice,
[F#m] Then my [F#] skull will be a home for [B] the mice,
[F#] Let me bleach like the bones [B] on the beach,
I'll be [F#m] hard like a pit [B] from a peach,
[C#] [F#m] And the hound has a [B] [F#] rance,
The old dress is just junk,
The axles on [B] blocks, the old [F#] fence, the old [Bm] talking,
[F#m] I'm a blimp that's straining,
Cut her ties, I'm a moth in training,
Scutter by, [B] [F#m] when I'm gone, when I'm gone,
I said I will have [B] satisfaction,
[C#m]
[Bm] I [F#m] said I will be [B] satisfied,
[F#] When I'm believing, [B] satisfaction,
[F#] When I'm grieving, [B] satisfaction,
[F#m] When I'm singing, [Bm] satisfaction,
[F#] When I'm praying, [B] satisfaction,
[F#] When I'm staying, [B] satisfaction,
[D] When I'm crousing, [B] [F#m] when I'm a thousand,
I said I will have satisfaction,
[C#m] I will be [C#] satisfied,
[F#m] Before I'm gone, [Bm] [D#m] before [F#] I'm gone,
[F#m] I will have satisfaction,
I will be satisfied,
I will have satisfaction,
I will be satisfied,
Now Mr.
Jagger and Mr.
[B] Richards,
I will [D#] scratch where I've [B] been itching,
Now Mr.
[F#] Jagger [B] and Mr.
Richards,
I will [C#] scratch where I've been [F#m] itching,
Before I'm [D] gone, [F#] before I'm gone,
Before I'm gone, [F#m] before I'm [F#] gone,
[F#m] Let me go back into the [F#] barrel,
Let a bullet go [C] back into the [F#] barrel,
Let a bullet go [C] back into the barrel,
Let a [B] bullet go back into the barrel,
Before I'm [C#] gone, [F#m] before I'm gone I said I will have [C#] [B] satisfaction
[F#m]
[Bm] Let the [F#m] bullet go back into the [B] barrel [D] Let the bullet go [F#m] back into the [B] barrel
