HONKY TONK WOMEN
The Rolling Stones
Tab by:omanyen@fusemail.com
No one has tabbed this song completely, so I'll do it.
I've included most, ( if not all ) of the fill-in runs
which you hear throughout the song. There are alot 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.

Many of these runs and fill-in runs are ad-libbed throughtout
the song, feel free to do the same. Mix them up, throw them
around, and just have a great time doing it.
Any questions, comments, or complaints, feel free
to E-mail me or post a thread at this sight.
this tab sounds fine w/ regular tuning
i'm not quite sure about some parts but the overall impression is very good. and you certainly need to tune your guitar to open G!!!!
