Around And Around Tab

The Rolling Stones
Song: Around And Around
Album: 12X5
Year: 1964
Guitarists: Keith Richards, Brian Jones
Tuning: Standard
 
This is a really cool song. It's a great early cover. Keith once again proves he is the master
of mimicing Chuck Berry. He's got the guy down to a tee. The most important thing is to listen
to the recording to hear the timings of each part so it will make more sense. I've
loved
this song. Especially watching old footage of them doing it. Enjoy.
