Does anyone know how to play this song. I used to think it was an organ through a leslie...
It's all simple chords (D/C/G/F#-D/A/G). The genius trick is the A/G-thing. Keith does a few fills here and there in between chords, but it's very do-able finding your way to those fills.
That second chord is not a straight C, it is a C with a strangely raised B to Gflat on the A-string.
So you get:
x x
x x
0 0 -> 2
4 x
3 x
x x
So first that strange C chord, tham hammer on from G to A on the G string, than full G chord (tus with added D on the B string).
I always suspected that Nicky Hopkins had a hand in the chord sequence, as this strange C-chord is a piano chord more than it is a guitar chord.

That "strange" C-chord is an ordinary C#11, containing a raised f (not a lowered g), as it also functions as a guide tone to the root of the G-chord.
The first chord is a D9, and the song has two keys: D and G major.
Actually the keys are F and B-flat, as the capo is in 3.
A beauty of a song.
The guy below almost nails it, and for those who doubt, I posted the original as well.
Enjoy.

Lots of theoretical stuff here (which is greeek to me, he he).
But did we manage to play the correct chords?

In fact the second chord is wrong, DP. You should take the second note 2 steps (a whole tone) up.

One of their all time best songs and one of Jagger's best, if not THE best, recorded vocal performances. Also stands out as the guitar figure is not typical Keith.

... I tried to do a version of it in my home studio but decided to take an approach which wouldn't even try to do what Mick did with the vocal, can't touch it. I've already posted it on this board but it is a tribute to my favorite band so here it is again.

Maybe it's someone in love with an Escort?

It is very much a Keith lyric like 'Happy' is -all loose sentences sounding great, but without a real meaning to it.
