THE BLACK CROWES
STING ME


well, for starters it's in open G (surprised?)
lemme see here. . .

the rhythm may be off. probably is actually. anyways. . .that's the main riff at the begining. 

also, there's that descending part he does after the riff in the begining it's just F to E to G. the thing with this song is you can's really play it wrong. just jam it out. i usually plat octaves on the 6 and 4 string. you'll figure it out.

the chorus is like this

Can ya sting meeeeeeetc. . .

-0-----3------5------------
-0-----3------6------------
-0-----3------5------------
-0-----3------7------------
-0-----3------5------------
---------------------------

right to my rotten bones

---5---5--5----5------0------
---5---5--5----5------0------
---5---5--5----5------0------
---5---5--5----5------0------
---5---5--5----5------0------
-----------------------------


the just before the solo, vamp a little bit in G using a dominant seventh and a flatted third (F and Bflat if you got lost for a second there)

then the solo is just the chorus progression.

and that very funky riff under that next verse (oooh c'mon my sweet little thang. . .) is like this. . .

---------------------
---3^----------------
---3^----------------
-------5-3-5-3-5-----
---------------------
---------------------

oh yeah, i forgot about this part before, sorry. 

i don't mean to sound bitter. . .

-5------5-------------0--------

that should be it. hope it helps! good luck
