Composition

This song represents a reversion to the "open G" guitar tuning that powered Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. The song's opening riff is played by Jagger. Richards commented on Jagger being the driving force behind the song and Jagger playing the opening riff: "I don't give a damn. He'd never have learned how to play that without me teaching him how to do it."
