Sympathy for the Devil
Composição de (Mick Jagger Keith Richards)
Easy to play and fun. Since there's basically only two riffs playing all the   
way through, you have to add a few variations to spice it up. "Less is more"  
in this song, though.  
  
Enjoy.  
  
Note: On my recording, this song is quite flat (about halfway between being in  
Eb and E). I've written it out in E, but you might want to transpose.
