The version on UG sucks, thought this tab did the song a little more justice.

ROCKS OFF 

            written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones
                         from the double album Exile on Main Street 

This  tune which opens the double album Exile on Main Street is one of my favourites.
It may sound like classical rock 'n roll but it is as difficult to tab as it is to play.  
You can hear piano and brass instruments on it and I thought that the guitars 
only  would be insufficient to have a good sound. In fact two guitars and a bass 
are enough to achieve the sound!

The first guitar is tuned in open G :  from bass to treble  : D  G  D  G  B  D

The second guitar is in standard tuning.


Legend :

h    : hammer-on
>>   : strum simply in rhythm
