The Rolling Stones - Love In Vain (chords) guitar tab

The Rolling Stones rendering of this oldie is entirely different. Keith wanted

to do this after having got hold of other RJ recordings which he hadn't heard

previously, but wanted to add something of the Stones to it. Personally, I think

this version stands on it own (IMHO).

It was recorded in G on 'Get you Ya-Ya's out in 12/8 measure. The chords are:

[intro]

| G | Em C | G G7 | D |

[verse]

| G | G | G7 | G7 |

| C | D7 | G D7 | Gsus4 G |

| D7 D/F# | Em C | G G7 | D |

Well I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand

Whoa, it's hard to tell it's hard to tell

Em C G G7 G D

But all your love's in vain

When the train come in the station I looked her in the eye

Well the train come into the station and I looked her in the eye

Whoa, I felt so sad, so lonesome that I could not help but cry

SOLO

When the train left the station, it had two lights on behind

Yea, when the train had left the station, it had two lights on behind

Whoa, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind

G G7 C D G D7 G G/C G

All my love's in vain

All my love's in vain
