______________________________________________________________

If you start me up, start me up

I'll never stop

I feel running hot

You got me reaped

You gotta go watch out

You make a grown man cry

Start up a fire with the gasoline

I wont soothe whatever fllame, flame, shame

Start me up

If you start me up

Gonna start until it's all you got

I can't complete

With the honesty a lover keeps

If you roughet it up

If you locked me up

If you start me up

Ride up the wind at double speed

I'll take you to place that you'll never say

____________________________________________________________

Excuse me any mistake, it's from memory.

My first post to this site, so I hope it looks ok :)

As with a lot of Rolling Stones songs, Keith Richards tunes his guitar to

an 'open G' (low to high: D,G,D,G,B,D) tuning. The 6th (lowest) string is

removed when playing this song. Another more or less trademark of

Richards.

Intro: P M M

D----|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

B--5-|:-6-6---------5-|--6-6-5-5-5-6---|----------------|--------3-3-3-5:|

G--5-|--5-5---------5-|--5-5-5-5-5-5-0-|3---3---3---3-3-|----3---3-3-3-5-|

D--5-|:-7-7---------5-|--7-7-5-5-5-7-0-|3---5---3---5-3-|--3-5-3-3-3-3-5:|

G--5-|--------------5-|--5-5-5-5-5-5-0-|3---3---3-3---3-|--3-3-3-------5-|

That repeats a few times up until the Chorus. Here is the Chorus

Chorus:

*

D-5-|----------------|--------------------------------|----------------|

B-5-|----5---5-------|--10----10--10--10--------------|----5---5-------|

G-5-|----5---5-7-7/10|--10----10--10--10--8---7---5---|----5---5-7-7/10|

D-5-|----5---5-7-7/10|--10----10--10--10--8---7---5---|----5---5-7-7/10|

G-5-|----5---5-7-7/10|--10----10--10--10--8---7---5---|----5---5-7-7/10|

D |--------------------------------|

B |10------10--10--10--------------|

G |10------10--10--10--8---7---5---|

D |10------10--10--10--8---7---5---|

G |10------10--10--10--8---7---5---|

* = This chord is not really played. You already played it (the last chord

in the intro) The chord is just carried into the chorus.

Note that I have also not tabbed in the lowest string.

P = pull-off.

M = muted note.

/ = slide up.

: = repeat.

Any probs, feel free to mail me.

Have fun :)

Mike.
