[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Yeah, we've got one for you. This one’s called "Sad, Sad, Sad."
One, two, one two three

[Verse 1]
Fling you out into orbit
No one's going to hear you shout
And fools aren't going to follow
You don’t even sleaze about

[Chorus]
Now you're sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're going to be fine

[Verse 2]
The elephant's in the bedroom
Throwing all his weight about
And I'm locked in the bathroom
No one's going to drown me out

[Chorus]
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're going to be fine

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
I got a cold chill
I get a cool thrill
Are you ready for the gilded cage
Are you ready for the tears of rage
Come on baby, don't let them drown you out

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Chorus]
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you’re going to be fine

Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you’re going to be fine

[Refrain]
You're going to be fine, yeah
You’re going to be fine, yeah
You're going to be fine, yeah
You're going to be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
Oh yeah

[Outro]
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're going to be fine, yeah

[Audience Applause]

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
