I knew she would meet her connection
C                                F
At her feet was her footloose man
C                                     F
No, you can't always get what you want

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
C                                                    F
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
F
I said to him
C                                 F       
You can't always get what you want

She was practiced at the art of deception
C                                           F
