Easy to play and fun. Since there's basically only two riffs playing all the
way through, you have to add a few variations to spice it up. "Less is more"
in this song, though.
Enjoy.
Note: On my recording, this song is quite flat (about halfway between being in
Eb and E). I've written it out in E, but you might want to transpose.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band, formed in April 1962 in London when guitarist and harmonica player Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart joined vocalist Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early lineup. After signing to Decca Records in 1963, the band changed their name from "The Rollin' Stones" to "The Rolling Stones". Band members and others often refer to the band as "The Stones".
