Chords

Song Title: No Expectations (Keith's Part) (The Rolling Stones) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: There are quite a few versions of this where it has Keith playing an unfeasibly complicated chord shape that goes like this:

e|---12---|  
b|---9----|   
g|---9----|  
D|---9----|  
A|---10---|  
E|---0----|  Then, Keith supposedly changes to this shape for the A chord:

e|---12---|  Unfortunately, it's not correct, I believe for two reasons: fistly, 
b|---9----|  it's unnecessarily complex and the very high E can be heard 
g|---9----|  without this chord being formed, due to a harmonic effect that is 
D|---11---|  produced when the chord is played as illustrated below (I also 
A|---0----|  can't see a rock guitarist making it hard for himself if he doesn't
E|---0----|  have to, especially Keith).

The first configuration (054670) is only used for two bars in the intro and standard E is played for the rest of the song. Incidentally, that high E can still be heard faintly when the standard E chord is played. So the good news is that it is a lot easier to play than a lot of people think.
