Keith wanted to do this after having got hold of other RJ recordings which he hadn't heard previously, but wanted to add something of the Stones to it. Personally, I think this version stands on it own (IMHO). It was recorded in G on 'Get you Ya-Ya's out in 12/8 measure. The chords are: [intro] | G | Em C | G G7 | D | [verse] | G | G | G7 | G7 | | C | D7 | G D7 | Gsus4 G | | D7 D/F# | Em C | G G7 | D | Date: Fri, 6 Oct 1995 15:59:40 -1000 From: Harlan L Thompson LOVE IN VAIN- Rolling Stones/ Robert Johnson D Em C G G7 G D G G7 Well I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand C D G D7 G G/C G Yea, I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand D7 D/F# Whoa, it's hard to tell it's hard to tell Em C G G7 G D But all your love's in vain When the train come in the station I looked her in the eye Well the train come into the station and I looked her in the eye Whoa, I felt so sad, so lonesome that I could not help but cry SOLO When the train left the station, it had two lights on behind Yea, when the train had left the station, it had two lights on behind Whoa, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind G G7 C D G D7 G G/C G All my love's in vain D7 D/F# Em C G G7 G D G All my love's in vain INTRO RIFF: D Em C G E -------2-----------2-----------3----------------------------------3-- B -----3---3-------3---3-----------0--------------------------------0-- G ---2-------2---2-------2---2s4-----2-0---------0h2-0-----0-----0--0-- D -0-----------0-----------2-------------2---0h2-------0h2---0h2----0-- A -------------------------2---------------3------------------------2-- E -------------------------0----------------------------------------3--
