In the Steel Wheels tour he uses his trusty  
5-string-open-
G
-tuned Telecaster. (Obviously  
Keith`s a closet banjo player. Gee...wouldn`t  
an electric banjo version of "Honkey Tonk  
Women" be interesting. But I digress...)  
 
(Note: Keith doesn`t have the 6th (bass) string)

In the 1968 video "Rock and Roll Circus" Keith plays  
the entire set (including "Jumping Jack Flash" which  
he now plays in open 
G
, and "You Can`t Always Get  
What You Want") in standard tuning without a capo.  
 
I`m not really sure how he`s playing it in the video,  
but it looks/sounds like he`s barring 8-10-12-9-8-8  
for the 
Cadd9
.  
 
 
Though Keith doesn`t play it this way, if you don`t  
want to bother going to open tuning, the following  
is easy to play and very close to the same sound:

I went down to the demonstration,  
To get my fair share of abuse.  
Singing "we`re gonna vent our frustration,  
And if we don`t we`re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse."  
 
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
But if you try sometimes well you might find  
You`ll get what you need.  
 
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore  
To get your prescription filled.  
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy,  
And man, did he look pretty ill.  
We decided that we would have a soda,  
My favorite flavor, cherry red.  
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,  
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead,"  
I said to him:  
 
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
But if you try sometimes you just might find  
You`ll get what you need, ...oh yes  
 
[instrumental]  
You`ll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.  
 
I saw her today at the reception,  
In her glass was a bleeding man.  
She was practiced at the art of deception,  
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands.  
 
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
But if you try sometimes you just might find  
You just might find  
You`ll get what you need.  
 
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
You can`t always get what you want,  
But if you try sometimes you just might find  
You just might find  
You`ll get what you need.
