Around and Around

Album: 12X5
Year: 1964
Guitarists: Keith Richards, Brian Jones
Tuning: Standard

This is a really cool song. It's a great early cover. Keith once again 
proves he is the master
of mimicing Chuck Berry. He's got the guy down to a tee. The most 
important thing is to listen
to the recording to hear the timings of each part so it will make more 
sense. I've
loved
this song. Especially watching old footage of them doing it. Enjoy.
