Guitar Chords For Ol' Pop Songs

It's not pretty but the jpg's enlarge when clicked on. I'll be writing more neatly but I had no idea I would be putting anything anywhere where anybody could, conceivably be assaulted by horrid handwriting.
Fortunately or not I have reems more note pages still to scan. I hope to be able to use these as a fun strum resource. Free on-line storage is really appreciated.
Thank You, e-folks!

Wild Horses

Wild Horses Lyrics


ROLLING STONES

Bm G Bm G
Childhood living is easy to do

Am C D G
The things you wanted I bought them for you

Bm G Bm G
Graceless lady you know who I am

Am C D G
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Am C G F// C
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

" "
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
----
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears have been be cried
Let's do some living before we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses ,Wild horses, we'll ride them some day
