The original version of this is 3 guitars.
Acoustic 1 ("Nashville tuning"- low 3 strings an octave up)
this is the one which starts the song off, there are no bass
strings which gives it that high sound. After the intro it
mainly plays harmonics
Acoustic 2 (Open G- D G D G B D)
this is the main acoustic throughout the song. If I get some
requests I will put this part down.
Electric 3 (Standard tuning)
this is Mick Taylor`s classic backing and superb solo. If I get
_lots_ of requests I might summon the energy to tab the solo, if
I get hundreds I might even tab the whole part.
For now, I will just do CRD. Despite having 3 guitars on the original
recording, this one sounds surprisingly full with just 1 acoustic
(standard tuning) and voice.

I have my freedom but I don`t have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let`s do some living, after we`ll die
Ch. Wild horses couldn`t drag me away
Wild wild horses we`ll ride them some day.

Gi Am7 Gi Am7 Gi
Verse
Bm Giii Childhood living
Bm Giii Is easy to do
Am7 Cii The things you wanted,
Gii C6 I brought them for you
Graceless lady, You know who I am, You know I can`t let you, Slide through my hands
Chorus
Bm Am7 Cii Wild Horses,
Bm Am7 Gii F Ci Couldn`t drag me away,
Wild, wild horses, Couldn`t drag me away...
I watched you suffer A dull, aching pain Now you decided To show me the same
No sweeping exits Or off-stage lines, Can make me feel bitter, Or treat you unkind
(Refrain)
I know I dreamed you A sin and a lie, I have my freedom, But I don`t have much time
Faith has been broken, Tears must be cried, Let`s do some living, After we die...
(refrain)
Here are the chords:
Gii 355433 Cii 875558 F 133211 C6 x35555 Am9 575587 Ci
Giii 7 10 9 7 8 7
In the third verse, you can replace the Am7 with an Am9. (Although now that I listen to it, I think the ninth is actually coming from the lead guitar. But it still sounds nice to use Am9 for a little variety, especially with only one guitar)
I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections.

I`ve fooled with the song some. Not real sure about the exact placement of these chords. Trust your ear.
WILD HORSES
Childhood living is easy to do. The things that you wanted, I bought them for you. Graceless lady, you know who I am; You know I can`t let you slide through my hands.
Wild horses couldn`t drag me away; Wild, wild horses couldn`t drag me away.
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain.
Now you decided to show me the same.
No sweeping exit or off-stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.
Wild horses couldn`t drag me away;
Wild, wild horses couldn`t drag me away.
I know I`ve dreamed you, a sin and a lie.
I have my freedom, but I don`t have much time.
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried.
Let`s do some living after we die.
Wild horses couldn`t drag me away;
Wild, wild horses, we`ll ride them someday.
We`ll ride them someday.

Wild Horses
by The Rolling Stones transcription by: Ken Friedson and Ed Finegold
There are two guitar parts at the intro. The rhythm is the same as the verse, the lead is built off of the Bm pentatonic, the notes are:
(fret/string)
Listen to it, it`ll take about two seconds to figure it out.
Verse
I heard living is easy to do
the pains you wanted, I bought them for you
note: the D and the last C are transitional chords, a quick down-up-down-up and then change to the next chord
Graceless lady, you know I am
You know I can`t let you, slide through my hands
Chorus
Wild Horses, couldn`t drag me away
Wild Horses, couldn`t drag me away
Verse
I watched you suffer, a dull aching pain
Now you`ve decided, to show me the same
Those sweeping exits, whoa off stage lines
could make me be bitter, and treat you unkind
Chorus
Verse
I know I dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom, but I don`t have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let`s do some living, after we die
Chorus
last line sung as: Wild horses, I`m gonna ride them some day
Either fade it out or end with a: D(transitional) G
Note: A quick listen to the album will show you what I mean about those transitional chords. Also, I did my best to show where the changes fall, but as you play it you`ll get the nuances. Some of the changes just hang a bit longer than others.

This is a new submission.
WILD HORSES written by the rolling stones Notated as played by the Sundays from the album "Blind"
Tablature & Transcription by Brandon Milner ([email protected])
The intro is: 320033 (G major) X32033 (Cadd2) 320033
Verse
224432 (B min) 320033 (G) 224432 (Bmin) 320033 (G)
X02210 (A min) X32010 (C maj) 320033 (G) X00232 (Dmaj)
{X00233 X00232 X00232 X00230 } played quick (d suspension)
Chorus
Wi- ild horses couldn`t X02210 (a min) X32010 (C) 320033 (G)
drag me a- way 1330XX (F) X32010 (C)
Bridge
There are like 3 acoustic tracks plus more electric here so you can play just about any voicing of these chords and the notes are probably in there somewhere.
Fmaj9 (X03010) Cmaj9 (X3001)
the turnaround back into verse is (X320XX) (X540XX)
NOW for the 2nd guitar part during the CHORUS:
I`m going to butcher the time but listen carefully to the song and you will get it. note the interesting syncopation though (tricky)
Play on high 2 strings: Wild... 12-12-12-12| eighth note each 10-10-10-10 1 sixteenth note each
Horses... 12--10-10-10-10 then 10-10-10-10 fast, 1 sixteenth each
Couldn`t......AWAY 0--0--0--0--0- (G string played open)
Good luck with my strange rhythmic notating.
