This is a Keith riff rocker. 
It was cut by Keith, Bobby Keyes (sax) and Jim Price (drums)
whilst waiting for the rest of the band to turn up.

go into open G (take the low E string off) tune to GDGBD 
(strings 5,4,3,2,1 respectively) put a capo on the fourth fret 
so that open string (00000) will be B.

CHORDS:  
B= 00000
B2= 02010
RIFF1 - BASED AROUND `E`
RIFF2 - BASED AROUND `E`
There are 2 riffs in the chorus. 
the� first riff goes like this (repeated twice)

------5-------5
5-5-6-5-6-6-6-5
5-5-7-5-5-5-5-5
5-5-5---7-7-7-5
5-5-5---5-5-5-5

THEN ITS THIS BIT (REPEATED TWICE)

0-0-----5---
0-0---5--5-
0-0-5-----0
0-0--------0
0-0--------0

the verse structure is all in B (open strings) and is the normal
rock`n`roll formula but it is adapted to open tuning -

0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-1-0-0-1
0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-2-0-0-2
0-0-0-0-0-0

B
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,

it always burned a hole in my pants.

Never made a school mama happy,

never blew a second chance on love.

B
Always took candy from strangers,

didn't wanna get me no trade.

Never want to be like papa,

working for the boss ev'ry night and day.

CHORUS
======
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy,
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.

Never got a flash out of cocktails,

when I got some flesh off the bone.

Never got a lift out of Lear jets,

when I can fly way back home.

CHORUS
======
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy,
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.

Rolling Stones - Happy (L.A. 1975)
L.A Forum 11.July 1975

THE ROLLING STONES - 1972 - Tumblin' Dice / Happy
A quick and detailed video about what happened during 1972;the Rolling Stones left England on the advice of financial advisors. The band moved to the South of France where Richards rented the Villa Nellcôte, the legendary album "Exile on main St" was released. And then the tour of 1972 in North-America embodied debauchery, lewdness, backstage parties, drug use, hotel rooms destroyed,... 1972 was a real gas !!!

Rolling Stones - Happy (Fed's Cover)
This is my cover of Rolling Stones' "Happy" , from the 1972 "Exile On Main St." album . This song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, but it's been always sung by Keith Richards (Mick Jagger did background vocals in the chorus) . I know I didn't sing it loudly, but I hope it will be OK anyway.. [www.myspace.com/febo86]
