So, here's the next song of the "Bridges to Babylon" album of the
Rolling Stones. I named the chord E(?) because nobody can tell me what
the right name of the chord is, but it sounds right. You can hear how to
play the chords fairly easy.

The story behind the song

"Always Suffering" is a song from The Rolling Stones, a band known for pioneering a gritty, rhythmically driven sound that helped define hard rock. As one of the most enduring bands of the rock era, their music, often rooted in blues and early rock and roll, became identified with the youthful counterculture of the 1960s. This particular track appears on their album Bridges to Babylon. It plays like a reflection on persistent hardship, a feeling that resonates deeply with the band's raw and often world-weary musical style.
