Intro: C F C F

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chorus:
    C                         F

    C                         F
You canʼt always get what you want
    C                         F
You canʼt always get what you want
           D
But if you try sometimes,
  F
You might find
                 C
You just might find
             F  C  F
Youʼll get what you need.
