Information: Following conventional lyric notation practice, words are broken into syllables to interpret the phrasing of the lyrics. Each word syllable in the lyrics below represents a note on the vocal part of this arrangement. A hyphen '-' or trailing hyphens following a word syllable indicates that the word syllable is extended over more than one note. ============================= Title: You Can't Always Get What You Want Key Signature: C Major Artist: The Rolling Stones Songwriters:Jagger/Richards Copyright:Westminster Music Ltd/ABKCO Music Ltd HR:MN:SC Total Running Time:00:08:07 ============================= PRELUDE I saw her to-day at the re-cep-tion A glass of wine - - in her hand
- I thought she would meet her con-nec-tion At her feet was a foot-loose man
- Now you can't al-ways get what you want
- You can't al-ways get what you want
- You can't al-ways get what you want
- But if you try some-times you'll find You'll get what you need
INTRO . . . . . . . I saw her to-day at the re-cep-tion A glass of wine in her hand - I knew she was gon-na
meet her con-nec-tion At her feet was a foot-loose - man
- You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want
- But if you try some-times, Well you might find You get what you need
And I went down to the dem-on-stra-tion To get my fair share of a-buse - Sing-ing, "We're gon-na
vent our frus-tra-tion If we don't we're gon-na blow a fif-ty amp fuse"
- You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want
- But if you try some-times, Well you just might find You get what you need
I went down to the Chel-sea drug-store To get your pre-scrip-tion filled - I was stand-ing in line
with Mis-ter Jim-my And man, did he look pret-ty ill
- We de-cid-ed that we would have a so-da My favor-ite fla-vor, cher-ry red
- And I sung my song to Mis-ter Jim-my and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
- I said to him You can't al-ways get what you want
- You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want
- But if you try some-times you just might find You get what you need
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK . . . . . . . . . . . . . You get what you need...
I saw her to-day at the re-cep-tion In her glass was a bleed--ing man - She was prac-ticed at
the art of de-cep-tion Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
- You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want
- But if you try some-times well, you just might find You get what you need...
You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want - You can't al-ways get what you want
- But if you try some-times well, you just might find You get what you need...
