Wild Horses

Here is our "Unplugged" arrangement of the Rolling Stones' 1971 top-forty hit Wild Horses. Our unique "Unplugged" arrangements are created for one acoustic guitar and one voice. The song is played as a slow 4/4 rock ballad. The Rolling Stones' recording is in the key of "G" and uses a twelve-string guitar tuned to Keith Richard's trademark open "G" tuning. Our arrangement is much easier to play in the key of "C" in standard tuning. The chord fingerings I use are shown below followed by the A and B section chord progressions.
