Beast of Burden

The Rolling Stones

E B C#m A add5 (x4)
                 E                B           C#m       A          add5
                    I'll never be your beast of burden
                    My back is broad, but it's a hurting
                    All I want is for you to make love to me
                                                                                       E B C#m A add5

                    I'll never be your beast of burden
                    I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
                    All I want is for you to make love to me

                                               A2
                                      Am I hard enough?
                                               G#m
                                      Am I rough enough?
                                               A2
                                      Am I rich enough?
                                            G#m                   B  add4
                                      I'm not too blind to see

                    I'll never be your beast of burden
                    So let's go home and draw the curtains
                    Music on the radio - come on baby, make sweet love to me

                                      Am I hard enough?
                                      Am I rough enough?
                                      Am I rich enough?
                                            G#m                   B +4 +4 B  add4  add4
                                      I'm not too blind to see   -    oh, little sister

                    Pretty pretty, pretty pretty, pretty pretty girls
                                              *Interlude*    E B C#m A add5 (x3)

                    Oooh, you're a pretty pretty, pretty pretty, pretty pretty girl
                    Pretty pretty, such a pretty, pretty pretty girl
                    Come on baby - please, please, please

                    I'll tell ya, you can put me out on the street
                    Put me out with no shoes on my feet
                    But put me out, put me out, put me out of misery, yeah

                    All your sickness - I can suck it up
                    Throw it all at me - I can shrug it off
                    There's one thing baby that I don't understand
                    You keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man

                    Ain't I rough enough, ooh honey
                    Ain't I tough enough
                    Ain't I rich enough, in love enough - ooh, ooh, please

                    I'll never be your beast of burden
                    I'll never be your beast of burden
                    Never (never), never (never), never never, never be

                    I'll never be your beast of burden
                    I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
                    And all I want is you to make love to me, yeah

                    I don't need no beast of burden
                    I need no fussing, I need no nursin'
                    Never (never), never (never), never never, never need...

                                                                                                    E B C#m A add5
                                                                                                     (repeat & fade)
