[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

[Verse 1]
When I'm driving in my car
A man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no, no, no!
Hey, hey, hey! That's what I say!

[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

[Verse 2]
When I'm watching my TV
A man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
He can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
I can't get no, oh no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say

[Chorus]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl in action
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

[Verse 3]
When I'm riding around the world
I'm doing this and I'm signing that
I'm trying to make some girl
Who tells me baby, better come back, maybe next week
'Cause you see, I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no, oh no, no, no
Hey, hey, hey! That's what I say!
C'mon

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
Hey, hey, hey!

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Yeah! Yeah!

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.
