Does anybody have the tabs or riffs for "Honky Tonk Woman" by the Rolling Stones? I have the chords for the song in the key of G.

Oscar Schmidt OU6-LCE
Lanakai CK-T
 
Here is the arrangement I have come up with:
intro: G C D7 D9 D7 G x2
Verse: G C C9
G A D D7 D9 D
G C C9
G D** G G7 G6 G

Chorus: G D** G G7 G6 G
D** G G7 G6 G
G D** G G7 G6 G
D** G G7 G6 G

D** "long D" 2225
 
Play it in F - basically it's a country blues song with the chords F-Bb-C.
In F you can use the G string for the thematic run:
223202
And when playing Bb use the C string:
223202
and so on. Me, I prefer the Country Honk version.

Very honored, and above all very happy you enjoyed it!

If it can help, you have many ukulele version of the licks guitar part... a quick YT search with the song title and the word ukulele...and you'll find many friends who have great vids... if you didn't already do it, of course!

It's true that song is an open G song, great for slide guitar... but i'm: sure it's good to slide on uke too!

Little6ster - I had made a comment about the excellent use of chunking in this song on your YT channel, under my smyrna5 screen name. After listening to it again, I can't figure out if you are chunking on that song, or its a drum in the background. Either way, it sure works.

I looked at that video of Little 6ster playing Honky Tonk Woman. That is a stunning performance! It has lots of heart and soul in it. I payed attention to the little in between riffs. Thank you for sharing that awesome performance with us.

Yes I'm chunking...no drum, and now i can tell you that I've post it with a lot of frustration because I did want to make a version with drums and slide Uke but my audio line is dead and it happened exactly when I started to work on it! so only webcam mic to do it :°(

Just totally awesome. I suppose the standard of a good chunk should be when its so good people think you have a rythm section behind you.
