                    SITTING ON A FENCE
                      ROLLING STONES


CAPO 1st FRET:


**INTRO: ( IMPLIED CHORDS ) - C F G   C   F   G    C   F  G  C 
                              / / /  /// /// //// ///        ////


VERSE:
      F                             G             C
       Since I was young I've been very hard to please
      F       G                     C
       And I don't know wrong from right
      F     
       But there is one thing I could never understand
      G
       Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so


CHORUS:
      C          F             G
       I'm just sitting on a fence
      C         F             G
       You can say I got no sense
        C             F
       Trying to make up my mind
        G             C
       Really is too horrifying
      F        G            *C    *NOTE: hold C chord 3 times 
       So I'm sitting on a fence


VERSE:
       All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
       And they mortgaged up their lives
       One things not said too much, but I think it's true
       They just get married cause there's nothing else to do, so



CHORUS:

CHORUS:


VERSE:
       The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life
       You just realize
       Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
       But you go out and you don't come back at night, so


CHORUS: -- to END

**NOTE: HERE IS MY ATTEMPT TO TAB OUT THE INTRO, VERSE AND CHORUS
