AS TEARS GO BY by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Andrew Oldha I play this song without any septime chord. It sounds great too Each time I play the song, it sounds a little bit different, becaus I finger with the chords around. It means, that I play all the notes tha available for the current chord. Sometimes I added a g-note on the e-strin to the D-chord [Dsus4], sometimes I played the e-note on the E-string instead of th e-note on the D-string. Things I ever do is the bridge [Em]-[Em7]-[C] and th finger style at the D-chord. This sounds great and if you heard it you won't miss it The finger style at the D-chord supports also the melody The chords in brackets are "only" interim chords, but it gives the song its own character The chords are very simple: [G] [A] [C] [D The intro is the same as the verse. Play it two times
