Intro: C F(Lick),  C F,  C F(Lick),  C F(Lick)


  C                     F
I saw her today at the reception
  C                    (F Lick)
A glass of wine in her hand
  C                            F
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
  C                         F
At her feet was a footloose man


Chorus:
------

    C                         F
You can't always get what you want
    C                         F
You can't always get what you want
    C                         F
You can't always get what you want


Bridge

           D
But if you try sometimes, 
  F                             C       F   C    F
You might find you get what you need ahhhh, yeah


I went down to the demonstration,
To get my fair share of abuse.
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustration,
And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse."

Chorus

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled.
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy,
And man, did he look pretty ill.

We decided that we would have a soda,
My favorite flavor, cherry red.
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead,
I said to him:

Chorus

Solo (Chorus - 5 lines)
You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.

I saw her today at the reception,
In her glass was a bleeding man.
She was practiced at the art of deception,
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands.

Chorus
