Start Me Up (Jagger/Richards)


If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up

You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man (radio edit)
You, you make a dead man (radio edit)]]> Easy Songs TwistedFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/start-me-up-the-rolling-stones/#post-60890 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/start-me-up-the-rolling-stones/#post-60889 Tue, 18 May 2004 13:39:04 +0000 Easy Songs TwistedFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/start-me-up-the-rolling-stones/#post-60889 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/start-me-up-the-rolling-stones/#post-60879 Tue, 18 May 2004 08:24:04 +0000

Then back to the intro/verse riff again………….

This is the first time I've tried to put ***the things I've learned from Wes and Grim*** to good use – if it sounds ok, thank them –if it doesn't then it's my fault.

***partial chords***

And if it does sound OK try some of their other tabs – these guys have heads stuffed full of classic rock songs!!!
Wish Mr Spock had taught me that Vulcan mind-meld………………

Thanks again to Wes and Grim for the help and encouragement………..

Vic

And if you can work out one word in five of the lyrics then "Mister you're a better man than I am".................]]> Easy Songs Vic Lewis VL https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/start-me-up-the-rolling-stones/#post-2440
