Dan’s Big Awesome Acoustic Songbook

The Rolling Stones - Shattered

Originally in E, I play in A capo 3, highest note that matters is around the b3 or 3

AUh-huh, Eshattered

AEShattered

Vox around the 2 of the chord (5 of the key)

DLove and hope and sex and dreams

Are Estill surviving on the streets

And Alook at me, DI’m in tatters

AEI’m a-shattered

AEShattered

AFriends are so alarming

And my lEover’s never charming

ALife’s just a cocktail party, Eon the street, Big Apple

APeople dressed in plastic bags

EDirecting traffic

ASome kind of fashion, Eshattered

DLaughter, joy, and loneliness and sEex and sex and sex and sex

And Alook at me, DI’m in tatters

AEI’m a-shattered

AEShattered

AAll this chitter-chatter, titter-tEatter, chitter-chatter ‘bout
