Beast Of Burden by Rolling Stones

Song: Beast of Burden
Artist: Rolling Stones
Album: Some Girls


I've seen a lot of the other versions weren’t that close to the recording.
The intro actually is right, and there’s two other guitars during the song.

The intro could be played two different ways, but are the exact same notes


Here’s the intro two different ways:

    D   E           B     C#m        A

e|--2-/-4---4-4—-x--2--x--4—(4)x------------|
B|--3-/-5---5-5—-x--4--x--5--5-x-----5------|
G|--2-/-4---4-4—-x--4--x--6--6-x-4h6--------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|

or
    D   E           B     C#m        A

e|------------------------4—(4)x-------------|
B|--7-/-9---9-9--x--7--x--5--5-x-----5—------|
G|--7-/-9---9-9--x--8--x--6--6-x-4h6---------|
D|--7-/-9---9-9--x--9--x---------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

The slide from the D to E could be a hammer-on. (index to ring finger)


There's two other guitars that do leads over this guitar, and the chords change during 
"am i hard enough part." But that's pretty much it.
