Tuning: Standard Difficulty: Intermediate HONKY TONK WOMEN The Rolling Stones Submitted by honeyponey I've included most, (if not all) of the fill-in runs which you hear throughout the song. There are a lot of them. I've done this in very detailed, small increments to be more easily read. I've tried to place them where they belong in reference to the lyrics.
