1970 e lançada em 23 de abril de 1971 no disco Sticky Fingers. A

Richards e com quase 3 minutos, temos a parte instrumental com Rocky

de Richards e Mick Taylor, pontuado pelo orgao de Billy Preston.
Perto dos 5 minutos, Mick Taylor toma o solo de Richards e sola até
o final da música com um solo enorme.
