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...
