LOVE IN VAIN

The Rolling Stones

Album: Let It Bleed

Written by Robert Johnson, adapted by M. Jagger/K. Richards

Tabbed by Werner Schmitz


Imho a exercise in the concept less is more, there are really none
incorrect or misplaced notes in the acoustic guitar part.
Please listen carefully to the record for the feel of this tune and the lot of
open ringing strings.
This notation covers only the intro and the first verse, let your ears be the
guide for the rest of the song, only slight variations will occur.


Kapo third fret:
