Intro: B E B E

  B                      E
I saw her today at the reception
  B                    E
A glass of wine in her hand
  B                              E
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
       B                    E
At her feet was a footloose man

Chorus:
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
           C#
But if you try sometimes,
  E
You might find
                 B              E  B  E
You get what you need... Ahhhhhhh, yeah...

  B                      E
I went down to the demonstration,
  B                      E
To get my fair share of abuse.
  B                      E
Singing "weʼre gonna vent our frustration,
  B                      E
And if we donʼt weʼre gonna blow a 50-amp fuse."

Chorus:
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
           C#
But if you try sometimes,
  E
You might find
                 B     E B E
Youʼll get what you need.

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

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

Chorus:
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
           C#
But if you try sometimes,
  E
You might find
                 B          E B E
Youʼll get what you need, ...Oh yes
                 B          E B E
Youʼll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.

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

Chorus:
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
           C#
But if you try sometimes,
  E
You might find
                 B
You just might find
            E  B  E
Youʼll get what you need.

Chorus:
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
    B                         E
You canʼt always get what you want
           C#
But if you try sometimes,
  E
You might find
                 B
You just might find
             E  B  E
Youʼll get what you need.
