The recording has two "weaving" guitars: most of the time you can't tell one from the other --
that's the magic of the Rolling Stones. The 2nd guitar plays higher tones, giving that main riff
you hear all the time. In the case of only one guitar, you can play the standard chords and
use your little finger to simulate the riff -- something like E - Esus4 - E - Esus4 - E and
A - Asus4 - A - Asus4 - A. It's not what Brian and Keith play on the recording, but it's good enough.
INTRO: E  
VERSE:
EHeard from friends of mine 
You been telling lies 
How I was wrapped up in you 
But Asurprise, surprise 
Surprise, surprise 
EI never wanted you that bad 
CHORUS:
C#mKnew Byou was Atelling Blies 
C#mKnew Byou was Atelling Blies 
C#mI couBld Asee it Bin your C#meyes B  
GUITAR SOLO: same as verse.

The recording has two "weaving" guitars: most of the time you can't tell one from the other --

that's the magic of the Rolling Stones. The 2nd guitar plays higher tones, giving that main riff

you hear all the time. In the case of only one guitar, you can play the standard chords and

use your little finger to simulate the riff -- something like E - Esus4 - E - Esus4 - E and

A - Asus4 - A - Asus4 - A. It's not what Brian and Keith play on the recording, but it's good enough.

INTRO:

VERSE:

Heard from friends of mine

You been telling lies

How I was wrapped up in you

But surprise, surprise

I never wanted you that bad

CHORUS:

C#m B A B

Knew you was telling lies

C#m B A B

Knew you was telling lies

C#m B A B C#m B

I could see it in your eyes

GUITAR SOLO: same as verse.
