                             SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
                        As recorded by The Rolling Stones
                      (From the 1969 Album BEGGARS BANQUET)

Words and Music by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

I submitted an earlier version, but this one has piano arranged for guitar with chords above them.
The solo is different because this is more accurate.  the other one is easier, but this one sounds better but is harder to play because you really have to listen.
