I've never seen this posted - nor have I seen it in ftp.nevada...
Too make a story short, I want to play this tune in my "band" and I would
like some opinions on how other people might play it... anyway here's what
I have now:
Beast Of Burden The Rolling Stones
---2-/-4--4------7---4----------5
---3-/-5--5------7---5----------5
---2-/-4--4------8---6----------6
-----------------9-------5-/-7---
That's the most important part of the song - the chorus is just standard
straight up chords (I think) but I can't remember them at the moment.
What I need help on is that the above doesn't sound thick enough - a bit too
plain. Anyone play it differently?
Also, as a method for playing in a band with one guitarist, would you just
keep playing the riff over and over instead of soloing off in the song -
since I can't do both at the same time, and since I am not that good, I'd
think to play what the audience knows best: the above riff.
Comments and suggestions are very welcome.

Beast Of Burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
Am I hard enough Am I rough enough Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see
I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby, make sweet love to me
Am I hard enough Am I rough enough Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see...oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty girl
| | | | |
You're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on, baby please, please, please
I'll tell ya
You can put me out on the street
Put me out with no shoes on my feet
But put me out, put me out, put me out... out of misery
All your sickness I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There's one thing, baby, I don't understand
You keep telling me I ain't your kind of man
Ain't I rough enough
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough
In love enough
Ooh Ooh please
repeat first verse
end:
I don't need no beast of burden
I need no fussing, I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be...
